[Spoken Intro]
We’ve been together for a long time, baby
Do you have to leave?
(Please don’t go, girl)
I just can’t live without you
(Please)
So listen to me
(Don’t go, girl)
Don’t go girl

[Chorus]
Please, don’t go, girl
You would ruin my whole world
Tell me you’ll stay
Never ever go away

[Verse 1]
I love you
(I love you)
I guess I always will
Girl, you’re my best friend
Girl, you’re my love within
I just want you to know that I will always love you
Ooh, baby, ooh
Tell me you’ll stay
Never ever go away

[Verse 2]
I need you
(I need you)
I guess I always will
Girl, you’re my best friend
Girl, you’re my love within
I just want you to know that I will always love you
Ooh, baby
(Please don’t go, girl)
I’m gonna always love you, girl

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m gonna love you, girl
Until the end of time
Tell me girl (Tell me, girl)
You’re gonna always be mine

[Chorus]
Please don’t go, girl
You would ruin my whole world
Tell me you’ll stay
Never, ever go away

[Outro]
I love you (I love you)
I guess I always will
Girl, you’re my best friend
Girl, you’re my love within
I just want you to know that I will always love you
Ooh, baby (Please don’t go, girl)
Please don’t go, girl (Please don’t go, girl)
Please don’t go, girl (Please don’t go, baby)
Please don’t go, girl (Please don’t go, girl)
Please don’t go, girl (Please don’t go, darlin’)
Please don’t go, girl (Please don’t go, baby, no, no)
Please don’t go, girl (Please don’t go, girl)
