Lyrics for Song: Please Don't Make Me Cry
Lyrics for Album: The Best of UB40 - Volume One [1987]
You say you're gonna to leave me, I'm beggin' you to stay
But baby, I can't get through it anyway, no I can't
And when I wake up in the mornin', you are gone
Little pretty thing, you know I'll be all alone
You'll hear me crying
Please don't make me cry cause I can't say good-bye
Please don't make me cry
Because I know there will be nothing left for me
All them good, good times we spent together
You said it was me and no other, yeah
And now you want to make me be pained inside
Darlin', I know you are going to make me cry
You'll hear me crying
Please don't make me cry cause I can't say good-bye
Please don't make me cry
Because I know there will be nothing left for me
All this pain I can't stand it, you're going to leave
You're going to leave this poor man on his own
Yes, you are
Please don't make me cry
Cause I can't say good-bye, show some sympathy
Please don't make me cry
Because I know there will be nothing left for me
All this pain, I can't stand it, you're going to leave
You're going to leave this poor man on his own
Yes, you are
Please don't make me cry, baby, I'm pleading
