[Intro:]
Don't go
Don't go
Oh whoa, don't go, yeah
Don't go, you can't leave me now
Oh, oh, whoa don't go

[Verse 1:]
If you leave me now
You take away the biggest part of me, oh baby
Ooooh no, woman please don't go
Ooooh no, I gotta have your lovin'

[Verse 2:]
And if you leave me now
You'll take away the very heart of me, babe
Don't break my heart woman
Oooh no, no baby, please don't go
Oooh no, I want you to stay

[Bridge:]
Oh listen
A love like ours, this love is hard to find
How could we let it slip away
You see, we come too far, baby
To leave it all behind
Look around
How could we end it all this way
(Don't leave me this way)
When tomorrow comes and we both regret
The things that we said, said today baby
