If You Let Me Stay Lyrics - Introducing The Hardline According To Terence Trent D'arby - Terence Trent Darby

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 

okay? 

Before you make a decision like that 

please just listen to me 

'Cos I don't want to leave 

I definitely 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 have said 

If you let me stay - I should have said that I love you 

If you let me stay - And I should have said it from my heart - 

If you let me stay. 

Honey 

don't compensate for my indiscretions 

Dear 

tell me it's not too late 

that I'd love to hear 

'Cause if you don't call on me 

you will see a grown man cry 

I didn't miss my water 

'til my world ran dry. 

But if you let me stay - I'll say what I should have said - . . . 

Your pretentions aim for gullible fools 

And now 

who needs you 

anyway? 

I'll get my answer where I taught the school 

You will regret it some day! 

If you let me stay - I'll say what I should have said - . . . 

'Cause I need you 

I'm not a man without you 

baby. 

If you let me stay - I'll say what I should have said - . . . 

If you Let me stay - I'll say what I should have said - . . .
