Where did you go when things went wrong, baby?
Who did you run to?
Find a shoulder to lay your head upon
Baby, wasn't I there?
Didn't I take good care of you?
But, oh, no. I can't believe you're leaving me, yeah
Stay with me, baby
I'm beggin' you to stay with me, baby
Yeah, stay with me, baby
I can't go on
Who did you touch when you needed tenderness, baby?
I gave you so much
And in return I found happiness
Baby, what could I do?
Maybe I was too good, too good to you
Ohh, I can't believe you're leavin' me
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, stay with me, baby
Why don't you, why don't you just stay with me, baby?
Yeah, stay with me, baby
Remember, you said you always gonna love me
Remember, you said you'd never ever leave me
Remember, remember, I'm asking you, begging you
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, stay with me, baby, baby, baby
Why don't you stay with me, baby?
Stay with me, baby
I can't, I can't go, oh, on
"Well, I'm a young woman, and I could get plenty of men. But honey, keepin' 'em's the hard part, ain't it? Yeah. Sometimes, sometimes I find I try so hard."
Maybe this time I should be the one to go away
'Cause honey, ain't it my turn to have somebody
Grab hold of me and say
"No! Don't go! You can't go!"
Oh! Stay, stay with me, baby
I'm begging you, stay with me
Stay with me, baby
I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, stay with me, baby
Why don't you stay with me, baby?
Stay with me, baby
I can't, I can't go on
Who did you run to?
Find a shoulder to lay your head upon
Baby, wasn't I there?
Didn't I take good care of you?
But, oh, no. I can't believe you're leaving me, yeah
Stay with me, baby
I'm beggin' you to stay with me, baby
Yeah, stay with me, baby
I can't go on
Who did you touch when you needed tenderness, baby?
I gave you so much
And in return I found happiness
Baby, what could I do?
Maybe I was too good, too good to you
Ohh, I can't believe you're leavin' me
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, stay with me, baby
Why don't you, why don't you just stay with me, baby?
Yeah, stay with me, baby
Remember, you said you always gonna love me
Remember, you said you'd never ever leave me
Remember, remember, I'm asking you, begging you
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, stay with me, baby, baby, baby
Why don't you stay with me, baby?
Stay with me, baby

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, stay with me, baby
Why don't you stay with me, baby?
Stay with me, baby
I can't, I can't go on
