Lyrics

[Chorus]
Tell the angels no, I don't wanna leave my baby alone
I don't want nobody else to hold you
That's a chance I'll take
Baby, I'll stay, Heaven can wait
No, if the angels took me from this earth
I would tell them bring me back to her
It's a chance I'll take, maybe, I'll stay
Heaven can wait
[Verse 1]
You're beautiful, you're wonderful
Incredible, I love you so
You're beautiful
Each moment spent with you is simply wonderful
This love I have for you, girl, it's incredible
And I don't know what I'd do, if I can't be with you
The world could not go on, so every night, I pray
If the Lord should come for me before I wake
I wouldn't wanna go if I can't see your face, can't hold you close
What good would Heaven be?
If the angels came for me, I'd tell them no
[Chorus]
No, I don't wanna leave my baby alone
I don't want nobody else to hold you
That's a chance I'll take
Baby, I'll stay, Heaven can wait
No, if the angels took me from this earth
I would tell them bring me back to her
It's a chance I'll take, maybe, I'll stay
Heaven can wait
[Verse 2]
Unthinkable
Me sitting up in the clouds and you are all alone
The time might come around when you'd be moving on (Moving on)
I'd turn it all around and try to get back down to my baby girl
Can't stand to see nobody kissing, touching her
Couldn't take nobody loving you the way we were
What good would Heaven be?
If the angels come for me, I'd tell them no
[Chorus]
No, I don't wanna leave my baby alone (My baby)
I don't want nobody else to hold you (Don't you do this to me)
That's a chance I'll take (If the angels come around)
Baby, I'll stay, Heaven can wait (Just tell them to bring me down to my baby)
No, if the angels took me from this earth (Don't you do this to me)
I would tell them bring me back to her
It's a chance I'll take, maybe, I'll stay
Heaven can wait
[Verse 3]
Oh, no, can't be without my baby (I can't be without my baby)
Won't go, without her, I'd go crazy (You can't take her from me)
Oh, no, guess Heaven will be waiting (See, if the angels come around, just tell them to bring me down to my baby)
Oh, no, can't be without my baby (Don't you do this to me)
Won't go, without her, I'd go crazy (I can't be without my baby)
Oh, no, guess Heaven will be waiting (I love you, girl! I need you, baby! I want you, baby!)
[Chorus]
No, I don't wanna leave my baby alone
I don't want nobody else to hold you
That's a chance I'll take
Baby, I'll stay, Heaven can wait
No, if the angels took me from this earth
I would tell them bring me back to her
It's a chance I'll take, maybe, I'll stay
Heaven can wait
[Outro]
Leave us alone
Just leave us alone (You're beautiful, you’re wonderful, incredible, I love you so)
Leave us alone
Please, leave us alone (You’re beautiful)
Please, leave us alone
Oh, leave me alone
Please, leave me alone
I said, leave me alone
