Lyrics

[Intro]

Please, please, please, please

Don't go

Don't go

[Verse 1]

But, oh, oh, I need you, darling

You've got the power of love

I found someone to love me

I found someone to love me

I found someone to love me

I found someone to love me

I know it's true

I love you

I found someone to love me

[Verse 2]

Why did it happen this way?

Someone has taken my place

No one to share my embrace

Oh, why do you do me like you do?

You made me love you

Now I feel so sad

You make me need you, and it's driving me so mad

Oh, oh, mm

I want you so bad

[Verse 3]

I love you, yes I do

I love you, yes I do

I know your love is true

From the way I looked at you

[Verse 4]

You love me yes, you do

You need me, I need you

I'm yours my whole life through

Since I first laid eyes on you

[Verse 5]

I guess you knew it from the start

From the day you took my heart

You're the one girl I'll always admire, hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah

You're my guiding star

I must be wherever you are

Then you said I'm wherever

[Verse 6]

But I want to let you know one thing

I want to tell you one thing

I want to tell you one thing

As I was walking down the street, yeah

[Verse 7]

Why does everything happen to me?

Hey, oh why does everything happen to me? Hey, hey

Please, I'm lonely, I'm by myself now

And the love's a memory

And, oh, so many strange things happen to me

All day long, oh, oh

Strange, strange things happen to me

All day long

Please I'm lonely, everything I

Everything I do is wrong

[Verse 8]

Bewildered

Love, I dream of you

Well, I love, I need you

Why did we part?

[Verse 9]

Baby, take my hand (Please, please, don't go)

I want to be a better man (Please, please, don't go)

Honey, please (Don't go)

I love you so (Pease, please, don't—)

Please, don't go (Please, please, don't go)

Please, don't go (Please, please, don't go)

Honey, please don't go (Don't go)

I love you so (Please, please, don't—)
