If You Let Me Stay Songtext
von Terence Trent D’Arby

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
Okay?
Before you make a decision like that

Please just listen to me

′Cos I don't want 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 have 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 walk out on me
You will see a grown man cry


I didn′t miss my water
'Til my well ran dry.
But if you let me stay - I'll say what I should have said - . . .
Your pretentions aim for gullible fools
And now
Who needs you
Anyway?
I′ll get mine where I taught the school
You will regret it some day!
If you let me stay - I′ll say what I should have said - . . .
'Cause I need you
I′m not a man without you
Baby.
If you let me stay - I'll say what I should have said - . . .
If you Let me stay - I′ll say what I should have said - . . .
