The song "I Don't Want You To Go" by Carolyn Dawn Johnson is about the struggle of letting go of someone you love. The lyrics describe the feeling of Monday morning approaching too soon and how it marks the end of the time spent with the person. Despite knowing that they should get some sleep and start the new week, they want to hold on to each other just a little bit longer. The chorus emphasizes the desire to keep the person close and the reluctance to say goodbye. The repetition of "no, I don't want you to go" highlights the internal battle of wanting to prolong the moment but also knowing that they have to let go eventually. The lyrics also depict the pattern of always wanting "just one more kiss" and how it leads to the night slipping away quickly. The reference to the coffee cup being their best friend the next day symbolizes the exhaustion and the consequences of staying up all night. Overall, "I Don't Want You To Go" is a bittersweet love song that captures the feeling of holding onto a moment that you know will soon end.
