Don't let me leave

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

[Chorus]
