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

[Repeat chorus]
