Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
you love me no longer, I know
and maybe there is nothing
that I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
that I ought just stick to another man
a man that surely deserves me
but I think you do!

So I cry, and I pray and I beg

Love me love me
say that you love me
fool me fool me
go on and fool me
Love me love me
pretend that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me

So I cry, and I beg for you to

Love me love me
say that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...

Lately I have desperately pondered
spent my nights awake and I wonder
what I could have done in another way
to make you stay
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
as long as you don't go

So I cry, and I pray and I beg

Love me love me
say that you love me
fool me fool me
go on and fool me
Love me love me
pretend that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me

So I cry, and I beg for you to

Love me love me
say that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...
