Don’t Leave Me In The Groove

[Intro – spoken, dry, close mic] Mmm… You hear that…? ⸻ [Verse 1] I gave you my midnight I gave you my day Every little piece of me You just threw away I held on so tight Till it cut through my hands Now I’m standing here alone Trying to understand ⸻ [Hook / Chorus – main sample loop] Don’t leave me in the groove Don’t let my heart lose time You took what I gave to you Now give me back what’s mine Don’t leave me in the groove Don’t let it fade away You walked out of my life But the rhythm made me stay ⸻ [Verse 2] You said you were coming Said you’d never stray But your words got lost In the games you play Now the night keeps calling With a low, slow sound And every beat reminds me You’re not around ⸻ [Hook / Chorus – repeatable phrases for chopping] Don’t leave me… Don’t leave me… Don’t leave me in the groove Don’t break me… Don’t shake me… Don’t let me lose the groove ⸻ [Bridge – stripped, emotional] I hear your name In every line Like a needle caught In a broken time I try to move But I can’t get free Something in this rhythm Still holding me ⸻ [Breakdown – short phrases for edits] Hold me now… Don’t go… Stay right here… Don’t leave me slow… ⸻ [Final Hook – layered, loop-ready] Don’t leave me in the groove Don’t let my heart lose time You took what I gave to you Now give me back what’s mine Don’t leave me in the groove Don’t let it fade away You walked out of my life But the rhythm made me stay ⸻ [Outro – fading, fragmentable] Don’t leave me… In the groove… Don’t leave me… Don’t… leave… me…
