Lyrics for If You Let Me Stay
Sweetheart Listen I know the last few pages Haven't been good for the both of us And I've caused you a lot of grief But put those bags down Okay? Before you make a decision like that Please just listen to me 'Cos I don't want to leave I definitely don't want you to leave Just hear me out: Honey Don't leave me now With my head on my shoulders wrong Have I done something wrong for you to leave? I know I've been careless Girl And I must apologize I'll try better next time Baby If you let me stay. If you let me stay - I'll say what I should have said If you let me stay - I should have said that I love you If you let me stay - And I should have said it from my heart - If you let me stay. How can I compensate for my indiscretions Dear Tell me it's not too late That I'd love to hear 'Cause if you walk out on me You will see a grown man cry I didn't miss my water 'Til my well ran dry. But if you let me stay - I'll say what I should have said - . . . Your pretentions aim for gullible fools And now Who needs you Anyway? I'll get mine where I taught the school You will regret it some day! If you let me stay - I'll say what I should have said - . . . 'Cause I need you I'm not a man without you Baby. If you let me stay - I'll say what I should have said - . . . If you Let me stay - I'll say what I should have said - . . .
