If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you
Not to go but to stay in my arms
Would you walk out the door
Like you did once before?
This time be different
Please stay, don't go
If I call out your name like a prayer
Would you leave me alone with my tears?
Knowing I need you so
Would you still turn and go?
This time be different
Please stay, don't go, please stay
I loved you before I even knew your name
I wanted to give you my heart
But when you came back after leaving me one time
Oh, I knew, oh, how I knew that the heartaches would start
If I called out your name like a song
That was written for you and you alone
Would you still hurt my pride?
Baby I cried
This time be different
Please stay, don't go, please stay
You know I'll always love you, darling
Please stay, don't go, please, please stay
