Oh Donna
You made me stand up
You made me sit down, Donna
Sit down, Donna
Sit down
You made stand up

Donna waiting by the telephone
Donna waiting for the phone to ring

Oh Donna
You make me break up
You make me break down, Donna
Break down, Donna
Break down
You make me break up

Meanwhile waiting by the telephone
Donna is waiting for the phone to ring

“Hello, darling
Yes I love you darling
Yes I love you”

Oh Donna
You made me stand up
You made me sit down, Donna
Sit down, Donna
Sit down
You make stand up

Donna I’d stand on my head for you
Oh my love, my own one
Oh my love, my own one

Donna waiting by the telephone
Donna waiting for the phone to ring

Oh Donna
Oh Donna
Oh Donna
Oh Donna
Donna I love you

About Lyrics and Donna by 10Cc

The lyrics for Donna are made up of the words, verses and background chorus for the popular 1973 song by 10Cc. Like a lot of songs, the lyrics to Donna have both direct meanings and metaphorical context hidden within the song's words. All of the meanings are only truly known by the creators of the lyrics for Donna - 10Cc and any of the writers who worked with them on the song.

If you have an interest in the structure of words and phrases, you can dissect the lyrics to Donna by 10Cc in multiple ways. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Donna" means the words set to the music of Donna, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by 10Cc. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Donna and the lyrics to Donna are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of 10Cc who came here looking just for the lyrics to Donna, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
