Don't Go (Love & Life)
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.
Every day is not a perfect day for you and I some days
Some things are just not right
That doesn't mean that I don't love you
And boy you know it’s true
I cannot always please you
When I look into your eyes (When I look into your eyes)
I always see myself
That means that we are one
No one else can satisfy this girl the way you do
I know that love makes all the rules
Sometimes I say things to hurt you
But I'll apologize
Neither one of us are perfect
So you should realize
Don't go, baby (I need you)
Baby, don't you go
(Baby, don't go, don't go)
Don't go, baby
I still love you so
Don't act that way if I ask you to stay
Please don't walk away from me, baby
Give me the same respect that you want from me
(Why don't you?)
‘Cause Lord knows that I deserve it too
Sometimes I say things to hurt you
But I'll apologize
Neither one us of are perfect
So you should realize
(No one is perfect, no one is perfect, don't)
Don't go, baby
(Don't go, baby, I need you)
Baby, don't you go
(Baby, baby, don't go)
Don't go, baby
(I need you, don't leave me, baby)
I still love you so
Don't go, baby
(Don't go, baby, I need you)
Baby, don't you go
(I need you, I need you, I need you with me)
Don't go, baby
(Don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go)
I still love you so
(I still love you, yeah, yes I do)
We all know we make mistakes
Sometimes we’re not always gonna get along
(We’re not gonna get along but I love you, yeah)
So stop wasting all your time thinking that I don't love you
(See, I love you, baby)
‘Cause if love makes the rules, no one gets played for a fool
(No one gets played)
Don't go, baby
(Don't go, baby)
Baby, don't you go
Don't go, baby
(I need you, oh oh oh)
I still love you so
Don't go, baby
(Please, please, please, please, please, please please)
Baby, don't you go
(I need you, I need you)
Don't go, baby
(Don't, don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go, don't go)
I still love you so
Don't go, baby
(Oh, baby, I need you, oh)
Baby, don't you go
(Baby, don't go)
Don't go, baby
(Don't go, don't go, don't go)
I still love you so
(I still love you, I still love you)
