If You Let Me Stay — текст песни (Terence Trent Darby)

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 - . . .
