Please Stay The Fatback Band

You know, it's real funny how strange and difficult life is
How confusing it can really, really be
It’s easy to say "I love you", and yet, so hard to say "I'm sorry"
Oh I know, I played the role:
Strong, silent type, a man ain't supposed to cry
But now, I’m trying to straighten out my life
Baby, you - you're the reason why
Nothing in this life is guaranteed
I guess that's something most of us fail to see
I didn't realize, the pressure and strife that I've been going through
Would drive you away from me
Why is it so difficult to say what we feel?
Silence is not always golden
We once played in the Garden of Love
Are the gates closed, or are they open?
I've never been too much for words
I guess, maybe nature planned it that way
But to love, is to communicate
Can now be ever so late?

(Ooh...)
So I'm asking you, I'm begging you:
Before you walk away, if there’s a place left in your heart for me
Baby don’t go, baby, don't go
(Don’t you go) I love you, baby
Please stay
