Terence Trent D'arby If You Let Me Stay lyrics

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)
If 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
'Cause, if you don't count 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
(I'll say what I should've said)
If you let me stay
(I should have said that I love you)
If you let me stay
(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
(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)
If you let me stay
(I should have said it from my heart)
If you let me, 'cause I need you
I'm not a man without you baby

Stay
(I'll say what I should've said)
You've got, if you let me stay
(I should have said that I love you)
If you let me stay
(I should have said it from my heart)
If you let me, gotta got to meet baby
I can't do without you baby, baby, baby, baby

Let me say
(I'll say what I should've said)
If you let me stay
(I should have said that I love you)
If you let me stay
(I should have said it from my heart)
If you let me woah
