How can this be
though all these years
I have been true to thee
You had the nerve to say
you're done with me
and that I should leave
girl, you're killing me

Take another day
before you go
and throw it all away
and if you do
I know we'll find a way
just believe in me
'cause I'm here to stay

[Chorus:]
Don't let me leave here, girl
'cause if I do I promise
I will look the other way
girl, I know you need me by your side
You don't see it, but I know it
This is why
don't let me leave here, girl
just let me tell you why
you're all I ever needed
and everything worth fighting for
before you go
and throw it all away
girl, I just know that we can find a way
please believe in me
'cause I'm here to stay

[Repeat Chorus]
