Spoken:   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, o.k.?   Before you make a decision like that,   Please just listen to me   'Cos I don't want you to leave.   I definately 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've said   If you let me stay   I should have said that I love you   It 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   If you walk out on me   You will see a grown man cry   I didn't miss my water   Till my well ran dry      But if you let me stay   If you let me stay   I'll say what I should've said   If you let me stay   I should have said that I love you   It you let me stay   And I should have said it from my heart   If you let me stay      Your pretensions aim for gullible fools   And now who needs you anyway?   I'll get mine elsewhere   I taught the school   You will regret it someday      If you let me stay   I'll say what I should've said   If you let me stay   I should have said that I love you   It you let me stay   And I should have said it from my heart   If you let me stay
