Don’t walk out on me. You can count on me.
Sometimes I go astray, go and play the fool
But I won’t walk away; I can’t be that cruel.
I won’t walk out on us. I won’t walk out on you.
Don’t walk out on me.
Don’t lose faith in me. You can count on me.
I’m sure I’ll make mistakes, maybe cause offense,
But I’ll do what it takes to make amends.
I won’t lose faith in us. I won’t lose faith in you.
Don’t lose faith in me.
Don’t give up on me. You can count on me.
I may stumble and fall, but I’ll get back up.
I’ll give you my all, and I won’t give up.
I won’t give up on us. I won’t give up on you.
Don’t give up on me.
Don’t abandon me. You can count on me.
Sometimes I make a scene, like some drama queen.
I man say some things I don’t really mean.
I won’t abandon us. I won’t abandon you.
Don’t abandon me.
Chorus
You can count on me. Don’t lose faith in me!
You can count on me. Don’t give up on me!
You can count on me. Don’t abandon me!
You can count on me. You can count on me. Don’t walk out on me!
