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—)
