Lyrics

I love you
Yeah

Babe, I love you so
I want you to know
That I’m gonna miss your love
The minute you walk out that door

So please don’t go
Don’t go
Don’t go away
Please don’t go
Don’t go
I’m begging you to stay

If you leave, at least in my lifetime
I’ve had one dream come true
I was blessed to be loved
By someone as wonderful as you

So please don’t go
Don’t go
Don’t go away
Please don’t go
Don’t go
I’m begging you to stay
Hey, hey, hey

Yeah

Babe, I love you so
I, I want you to know
That I’m gonna miss your love
The minute you walk out that door

So please don’t go
Don’t go
Don’t go away
Hey, hey, hey

I need your love
I’m down on my knees
Beggin’ please, please, please
Don’t go
Don’t you hear me, baby?
Don’t leave me now
Oh, no, no, no, no
Please don’t go
I want you to know
That I, I, I love you so

Please don’t leave me, baby
Please don’t go
