Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry

I don't want to lose this feeling

And if I could choose a place to die

It would be in your arms

[Chorus]

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?

Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?

I'd gladly do it because

I don't want to fade away

Give me one more day, please

I don't want to fade away

In your heart I want to stay

[Verse 2]

It's all wrong, but it's all right

The way that you treat me, baby

'Cause once I was strong but I lost the fight

You won't find a better loser

[Chorus]

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?

Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?

'Cause I would gladly do it

I don't want to fade away

Give me one more day, please

I don't want to fade away

In your heart I want to stay

[Instrumental]

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?

Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?

'Cause I would gladly do it

I don't want to fade away

Give me one more day, please

I don't want to fade away

In your heart I want to stay

[Verse 3]

Bell bottom blues, don't say goodbye

We're surely gonna meet again

And if we do, don't you be surprised

If you find me with another lover

[Chorus]

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?

Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?

'Cause I would gladly do it, and I

I don't want to fade away

Give me one more day, please

I don't want to fade away

In your heart I want to stay

[Outro]

I don't want to fade away

Give me one more day, please

I don't want to fade away

In your heart I want to stay
