License This Song 

• Don't leave me all alone
  Just drop me off at home
  I'll be fine, it's not the first
  Just like last night but a little worse, and
  
  She said that I'm not the one that she thinks about and
  She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
  I said, "Don't let your future be destroyed by my past"
  She said, "Don't let my door hit your ass"
  
  Just give me one more chance, I'll try this time
  I'll give you yours, I won't take mine
  I'll listen up, pretend to care
  Go on ahead, I'll meet you there, and
  
  She said that I'm not the one that she thinks about and
  She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
  I said, "Don't let your future be destroyed by my past"
  She said, "Don't let my door hit your ass"
  
  Let's try this one more time with feeling
  One more time with feeling
  One more time with feeling
  One more time with feeling
  
  She said that I'm not the one that she thinks about and
  She said it stopped being fun, I just bring her down
  I said, "Don't let your future be destroyed by my past"
  She said, "Don't let my door hit your ass"
  
  And don't leave me all alone
  Just drop me off at home and I'll be fine Writer/s: Mark Hoppus, Thomas DeLonge, Travis L. Barker

• Arkady from London, EnglandMark: 'This song is about my herpes [an STD], it's called "Don't Leave Me" and it goes like this'
  -Mark, Tom And Travis Show
• Weng from Los Angeles, CaTom DeLonge: "Mark wrote that song, so I can't really speak about what was going through his mind when he wrote that one. But I can judge on the lyrics. He wrote that song when he didn't even have a girlfriend, so I don't know who he's talking to. Sometimes you write a relationship song that really doesn't have that much deep meaning. I think it's just like that feeling when you're really in love with a girl, you're just thinking 'Please, please, please don't stop liking me.' That's the gist of the song. All the times you put your feelings into liking a girl, and she doesn't like you at all, and she thinks you're a scumbag. So therefore that song's like a prayer to a girl. Always hoping that you won't make the girl throw up forever, always hoping that the girls will love you. We speak for all males, we write songs hoping that girls will like us dirty rotten boys for a long time."
