Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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, okay?

Before you make a decision like that, please just listen to me

'Cause I don't want you to leave

I definitely don't want you to leave, just hear me out

[Verse 2]

Honey, don't leave me know

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

[Verse 3]

If you let me stay

I'll say what I should've said

If you let me stay

I should've said that I love you

If you let me stay

I should've said it from my heart

If you let me stay

[Verse 4]

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 my water till my well ran dry

[Verse 5]

But If you let me stay

I'll say what I should've said

If you let me stay

I should've said that I love you

If you let me stay

I should've said it from my heart

If you let me stay

[Verse 6]

Your pretensions aim for gullible fools

And now who needs you anyway?

I'll get mine elsewhere, I taught the school

You will regret it someday (someday)

[Verse 7]

If you let me stay

I'll say what I should've said

If you let me stay

I should've said that I love you

If you let me stay

I should've said it from my heart

If you let me, 'cause I need you

I'm not a man without you, baby

[Verse 8]

Let me stay,

I'll say what I should've said

If you let me stay

I should've said that I love you

If you let me stay

I should've said it from my heart

If you let me, come and talk to me, baby

I can't do it, I can barely think it, baby

[Verse 9]

Let me stay,

I'll say what I should've said

If you let me stay

I should've said that I love you

If you let me stay

I should've said it from my heart

If you let me, oh
