Terence Trent D'arby - If You Let Me Stay (The Shep Pettibone mix) 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, o.k.? Before you make a decision like that Please just 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 love you It you let me stay And I should have said it from my 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 my water Till my well ran dry But 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 love you It you let me stay And I should have said it from my heart If you let me stay 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 If you let me stay I'll say what I should've said If you let me stay I should have said that I love you It you let me stay And I should have said it from my heart If you let me stay
