The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I wanna have my life in control

I don't wanna see you walkin' out the door

I promise I'll get myself back in order

Please stay I'm beggin' you don't leave me here alone

because I need you to help me take care of my needs

I love you my sweet baby

I'm beggin' you please stay with me

I see you staring out the window

Tears runnin' down your cheeks

I tried to tell you that they'd rip you apart

But you did not believe me

You said no, they love me I know it

And I know that you love me too

So why are we so out of order

I need myself out of here

I hate how this relationship is going

I need some help so do you

Don't tell me I'm crazy, weird, out of control

Because I'd do anything for you

The love in our hearts is starting to fade away

You still told me you loved me

So why didn't you stay

You told me you hate me

You told me I was cruel

You don't understand how it feels to try to love you

When I know that you will not love me too

I've givin you everything you could ever need

But you still do not at all seem pleased

What more can I do for you to win back your love

I need you baby

Can't you see that I'm crying for you

But you don't care because you're gonna leave me too

I wanna have my life in control

I don't wanna see you walkin' out the door

I promise I'll get myself back in order

Please stay I'm beggin' you don't leave me here alone

because I need you to help me take care of my needs

I love you my sweet baby

I'm beggin' you please stay with me

Please take me back honey

Give me just one more chance

If I screw up this time

Them we know that this isn't romance

I would see the light

But my life so dark

I'm tryin' tryin' tryin' with all my might

I need some help baby

Can you hold my hand through the night

You link me to freedom

You give me my body and soul

You are the only one that can get me back in control

Sweet baby baby

I need to ask you on little thing

Will you stay with me

Can we get back into the swing of things

I wanna have my life in control

I don't wanna see you walkin' out the door

I promise I'll get myself back in order

Please stay I'm beggin' you don't leave me here alone

because I need you to help me take care of my needs

I love you my sweet baby

I'm beggin' you please stay with me

Please, please, please
