LYRICS:

Spoken:
"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, OK?
Before you make a decision like that,
Please listen to me
'Cos I don't want you 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've said
If you let me stay
I should have said that I loved you
If you let me stay
And I should have said it from the 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 the water
Till my well ran dry
But if you let me stay
I'll say what I should've said
If you let me stay
I should have said that I loved you
If you let me stay
And I should have said it from the heart.
If you let me stay

Your pretensions aim for gullible fools
And who needs them 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 loved you
If you let me stay
And I should have said it from the heart.
If you let me stay
