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.

Honey
don't compensate for my indiscretions

Dear
tell me it's not too late
that I'd love to hear

'Cause if you don't call on me
you will see a grown man cry

I didn't miss my water
'til my world 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 - . . .
