Gaye,
won't you let me have a say
in the way you behave,
i won't last another day
if you decide to go away.
Chorus:
you're the tray of nice things
i upset yesterday,
the display of bright rings
i let slip away.

Oh gaye,
you allay my every fear
in a most extraordinary way,
if i thought that i could find
my way without you
i would not ask you to stay.
Chorus:
you're the tray of nice things
i upset yesterday,
the mainstay of my dreams
that i let slip away.
****
Gaye,
won't you let me have a say
in the way you behave,
i won't last another day
if you decide to go away.
Don't go away,
oh please stay,
don't go away,
please stay.
