lyrics
[Verse 1]
Saw you by the cold blue freezer
Hands on a paper cup
Name tag shining, Donna
And I was already stuck
Your laugh hit like a shortcut
Right through my careful plan
You turned one look and I
Could not act like a man
[Pre-Chorus]
Now my phone stays face-down
But your name won’t leave my mouth
I keep saying “don’t go”
Then you pull me out
[Chorus]
Donna, Donna, on my tongue
Donna, Donna, till I’m undone
Say it once, I’m gone
Say it twice, you’ve won
Donna, Donna, on my tongue
(Donna, Donna)
[Verse 2]
You wear that red hair wild
Like you never need to try
I watch your rings flash silver
When you wave me by
You said, “Come on, don’t be shy”
Like you knew my pulse
I was trying to play it cool
Now my whole chest convulses
[Pre-Chorus]
Now my phone stays face-down
But your name won’t leave my mouth
I keep saying “don’t go”
Then you pull me out
[Chorus]
Donna, Donna, on my tongue
Donna, Donna, till I’m undone
Say it once, I’m gone
Say it twice, you’ve won
Donna, Donna, on my tongue
(Donna, Donna)
[Bridge]
If you call, I’ll come running
Past the curb and through the rain
If you smile, I forget
Every careful thing I’d planned
[Final Chorus]
Donna, Donna, on my tongue
Donna, Donna, till I’m undone
Say it once, I’m gone
Say it twice, you’ve won
Donna, Donna, on my tongue
(Donna, Donna)
Donna, Donna, on my tongue
Saw you by the cold blue freezer
Hands on a paper cup
Name tag shining, Donna
And I was already stuck
Your laugh hit like a shortcut
Right through my careful plan
You turned one look and I
Could not act like a man
[Pre-Chorus]
Now my phone stays face-down
But your name won’t leave my mouth
I keep saying “don’t go”
Then you pull me out
[Chorus]
Donna, Donna, on my tongue
Donna, Donna, till I’m undone
Say it once, I’m gone
Say it twice, you’ve won
Donna, Donna, on my tongue
(Donna, Donna)
[Verse 2]
You wear that red hair wild
Like you never need to try
I watch your rings flash silver
When you wave me by
You said, “Come on, don’t be shy”
Like you knew my pulse
I was trying to play it cool
Now my whole chest convulses
[Pre-Chorus]
Now my phone stays face-down
But your name won’t leave my mouth
I keep saying “don’t go”
Then you pull me out
[Chorus]
Donna, Donna, on my tongue
Donna, Donna, till I’m undone
Say it once, I’m gone
Say it twice, you’ve won
Donna, Donna, on my tongue
(Donna, Donna)
[Bridge]
If you call, I’ll come running
Past the curb and through the rain
If you smile, I forget
Every careful thing I’d planned
[Final Chorus]
Donna, Donna, on my tongue
Donna, Donna, till I’m undone
Say it once, I’m gone
Say it twice, you’ve won
Donna, Donna, on my tongue
(Donna, Donna)
Donna, Donna, on my tongue
音樂風格
Pop-R&B with laid-back swung drums and elastic bass; verse rides sparse keys and finger snaps, pre-chorus lifts with filtered pads and stacked whispers, chorus opens into bright synth chords and doubled lead vocal. Add reverse swells into each hook, little percussion ticks between lines, and a tape-stop on the final word. Intimate close-mic verses, wide glossy chorus, crisp and warm mix.
