Please, don't leave this way
there's still so much to say
and we could always talk together
swallow your pride and sit down
smooth away that frown
if we must part let's leave as friends
We were such a happy go-lucky pair
all the dreams we shared
i can't believe it's true, after all that we've been through
please don't go
one thing i'm certain of, i have no doubt
people need each other, that's what life's about
and oh, if we can try then baby by and by
we can work it out

please let down your guard
life can be so hard
and we could always help each other
you've got no reason to cry
this is not goodbye
for i will always love you

my love is an open book
if you take a look you can read between the lines
i smile and say 'i'm doing fine'
please don't go
don't you know, baby if you go
a part of me will never be the same no more
turn around, let's try it
just one more time

please don't leave me this way
there's still so much to say
and we could always talk together
you've got no reason to cry
this is not goodbye
for i will always love you
don't you know i care

care about you yes i do baby / i'm still your friend
what we have to share
share a dream now there's no end / can never end
we were such a happy go-lucky pair
all the dreams we shared
i can't believe it's true
after all that we've been through
please don't go
one thing i'm certain of, i have no doubt
people need each other, that's what life's about
and oh, if we can try then baby by and by
we can work it out

darling please / whoa please
