[Verse 1]
Don't send me away (Don't send me away)
I've hurt you it's true
Don't close the door (Don't close the door)
I'll make it up to you
'Cause you know that I need your, your wonderful love
Whoa
[Verse 2]
Don't send me away (Don't send me away)
I may have been wrong
But please let me stay (Please let me stay)
Here, where I belong
Darling, you know that I need your, your wonderful love
(I need) I need your love (your love)
[Bridge]
Dear, through all my days of mine, I need your love
Dear, through every phase of mine, I need you love
Everyday and in every way
Hmmm
[Verse 3]
Don't send me away (Don't send me away)
For I surely be lost
I'm willing to pay (Willing to pay)
My life as the cost
'Cause you know that I (need your love)
Oh, you know I do (I need your love)
Oh, I'll cherish you (I need your love)
Oh, don't be cruel (I need your love)
Don't send me away (Don't send me away)
I've hurt you it's true
Don't close the door (Don't close the door)
I'll make it up to you
'Cause you know that I need your, your wonderful love
Whoa
[Verse 2]
Don't send me away (Don't send me away)
I may have been wrong
But please let me stay (Please let me stay)
Here, where I belong
Darling, you know that I need your, your wonderful love
(I need) I need your love (your love)
[Bridge]
