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 meHow 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



[Repeat Chorus]



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



[Repeat Chorus]
