Loath To Refuse
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.
If you don't want me now
Then you can't have me later
'Cause I won't wait for you
So don't expect me to
If you won't love me now
Then we'll be nothing after
So you had better stay
Lest I take my love away
You don't want to lose me
But you're loath to refuse me
And I know that you'll always choose me
Over anybody else
If you won't leave me now
You won't see me later
Leave me on my own
I need to be alone now
And though you want me now
You can wait 'till after
'Cause patience is a virtue my love
The question is 'do you have enough'?
