Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Girl, I just can't live without you
[Verse 2]
I know I hurt you
That's the last thing I meant to do
Sometimes I can be careless and blind
Can you forgive the fool that I've been?
[Verse 3]
You know I love you
You're the one thing I have that's true
My life used to be nothing to me
I never want to feel that again
[Verse 4]
If you go away, girl
You're taking my heart with you
If you go away, girl
You'll be breaking my heart in two
If you only stay, girl
I promise you the world
So please don't ever go away
[Verse 5]
You know I need you
I'm so sorry that I made you cry
You are everything good in my life
Your tears have finally opened my eyes
[Verse 6]
If you go away, girl
You're taking my heart with you
If you go away, girl
You'll be breaking my heart in two
If you only stay, girl
I promise you the world
So please don't ever go away
[Verse 7]
I was so wrong to ever look at another, baby
Even the strongest man can stumble and fall
I'd do anything for you, anything
To be in your arms  again
Baby, don't let this be the end, oh
[Verse 8]
If you go away, girl (If you go away tonight)
You're taking my heart with you
If you go away, girl (If you go away, girl)
You'll be breaking my heart in two
If you'd only stay, girl
I promise you the world
So please don't ever go away
[Verse 9]
If you go away, girl
If you only stay, girl
I promise you the world
So please don't ever go away, no
[Verse 10]
Girl, I just can't live without you
[Verse 11]
Never, ever leave me, girl
You promised your love to me forever
Say you'll never leave me, girl
[Verse 12]
Never, ever leave me, girl
You promised your love to me forever
Say you'll never leave me, girl
[Verse 13]
Never, ever leave me, girl
You promised your love to me forever
Say you'll never leave me, girl
[Verse 14]
Never, ever leave me, girl
You promised your love to me forever
Say you'll never leave me, girl
