If You Let Me Stay Lyrics By 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 ok
    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 somedaysomeday

    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 mecause i need yah im not a men
    without you baby whoah
    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
    and i should have said it from my heart

    if you let me
    come back to me baby
    i can’t do without you baby baby baby baby
    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
