Don't Let Me Leave
Marc Anthony · Marc Anthony [1999]
You had the nerve to say you're done with me
And that I should leave
Take another day
Before you go and throw it all away
And if you do I know we'll find a way
Just believe in me
'Cause I'm here to stay
Don't let me leave here girl
'Cause if I do I promise I will look the other way
Girl I know you need me by your side
You don't see it, but I know it
This is why
You're all I ever needed
And everything worth fighting for
Before you go and throw it all away
Girl I just know that we can find a way
Please believe in me
'Cause I'm here to stay
Don't let me leave here girl
'Cause if I do I promise I will look the other way
Girl I know you need me by your side
You don't see it, but I know it
This is why
You're all I ever needed
And everything worth fighting for
Before you go and throw it all away
Girl I just know that we can find a way
Please believe in me
'Cause I'm here to stay
