If You Let Me Stay - Lyrics by Terence Trent Darby


Lyrics
Sweetheartlisten
I know the last few pages
Haven't been good for the both of us
And I've caused you a lot of griefbut put those bags downokay?
Before you make a decision like thatplease just listen to me'
Cos I don't want to leave
I definitely don't want you to leave
Just hear me out:
Honeydon't leave me nowwith my head on my shoulders wrong
Have I done something wrong for you to leave?I know I've been carelessgirland I must apologize
I'll try better next timebabyif 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.
Honeydon't compensate for my indiscretions
Deartell me it's not too latethat I'd love to hear'
Cause if you don't call on meyou 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 nowwho needs youanyway?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 youbaby.
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 - . . .
