Please Stay

Westlife · Other Songs - Westlife

If I got on my knees and I pleaded with you

Not to go but to stay in my arms

Would you walk out the door

Like you did once before?

This time be different

Please stay, don't go

If I call out your name like a prayer

Would you leave me alone with my tears?

Knowing I need you so

Would you still turn and go?

This time be different

Please stay, don't go

Please stay

I loved you before I even knew your name

And I wanted to give you my heart

But then you came back after leaving me one time

I knew that the heartache would start

If I called out your name like a song

That was written for you

You alone

Would you still hurt my pride?

Oh hey, how I cried this time

Be different, please stay

Please stay, don't go

Please stay, don't go

Please stay
