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
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

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 someday!

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
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 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

Come and talk to me baby
I can't do it by

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 ooh-ooh
