Say Please

Well, I cried out my eyes the night that you left
And I begged for a sinners reprieve
And I'll never forget the shame that I felt
When you loosened my grip on your sleeve

You said, Baby, you didn't do anything wrong
There's just something that I have to see
And I said, I'll never forgive you for this
Not even if you say please

I wanna hear you say
Please, baby, please, baby
I'm stupid, I was wrong
And you knew it all along

So get down on your knees
Baby, swallow up your pride
You know it wouldn't hurt to cry
And say please, oh baby, please

After you left, you know it took me a while
To get myself up off the ground
It was maybe a month 'fore they got me to smile
Baby I've never been so down

I know you think that I'm just being mean
And you're right 'cause I'm still mad at you
So if you want back in my graces tonight
There's just one thing you gotta do

I wanna hear you say
Please, baby, please, baby
I'm stupid, I was wrong
And you knew it all along

So get down on your knees
Baby, swallow up your pride
You know it wouldn't hurt to cry
And say please
Let me hear you say please

You must have thought I was clay in your hands
That I needed the strength of your two legs to stand
Well baby, guess what, I'm standing just fine
Turns out I've got a little steel in my spine

I wanna hear you say
Please, baby, please, baby
I'm stupid, I was wrong
And you knew it all along

So get down on your knees
Baby, swallow up your pride
You know it wouldn't hurt to cry

And say please, baby, please, baby
I'm stupid, I was wrong
And you knew it all along

So get down on your knees
Baby, swallow up your pride
You know it wouldn't hurt to cry
And say please
Oh, baby please, please, say please
