If You Let Me Stay — текст песни (Terence Trent D`arby)

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 definately 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
