You've got the right to tell me it's all over

It isn't like me to be begging you

Don't let go, don't let go

Just stay with me another day

When I'm not myself please understand me

I'm so confused I don't know what to do

But don't give up, don't give up

It just may take a little time

Be tender with me baby

I'm so afraid you'll go away

Be tender with me baby

Always, for always

I know that you've been patient with my weakness

And that you hate to see me cry

But I know, yes I know

I doesn't have to be this way

But I'm so lonely I could die

Be tender with me baby

I'm so afraid you'll go away

Be tender with me baby

Always, for always

Why does my heart keep hurting

Why do I feel like I do

I hope you see this is not really me

That it's just a phase that I'm going through

Be tender with me baby

I'm so afraid you'll go away

Be tender with me baby

Always, for always
