Please Stay Lyrics
Westlife
Lyrics
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.
