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, o.k.?

Before you make a decision like that,

Please just listen to me

'Cos I don't want you to leave.

I definately 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've said

If you let me stay

I should have said that I love you

It 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

If you walk out on me

You will see a grown man cry

I didn't miss my water

Till my well ran dry

But if you let me stay

If you let me stay

I'll say what I should've said

If you let me stay

I should have said that I love you

It you let me stay

And I should have said it from my heart

If you let me stay

Your pretensions aim for gullible fools

And now who needs you anyway?

I'll get mine elsewhere

I taught the school

You will regret it someday

If you let me stay

I'll say what I should've said

If you let me stay

I should have said that I love you

It you let me stay

And I should have said it from my heart

If you let me stay
