Darling, please stay, don't go away
(If you leave me)
What a heartache, for Heaven's sake
(Don't you need me?)
Don't leave me blue of wanting you
(How could I live?)
Don't be untrue, what could I do?

Don't you know you
You gave me the world, little girl
When you gave me your love
So if you take your love
You take my world with you too

Hey, look at me, now can't you see
(Tears in my eyes?)
Hear what I say, stay here, I pray
(Never leave me)
Why must I plead, you know I need
(All your loving)
Don't put me down, keep me around

Don't you know you
You gave me the world, little girl
When you gave me your love
So if you take your love
You take my world with you too

And I say, baby
Hey, pretty little baby
Don't leave me baby
Pretty little baby

Darlin', you give me joy, am I your toy?
(Cracked and broken)
I always share your every care
(Wishin', hopin')
All through the years, we have no fears
(Now I'm cryin')
You leave the tears fallin' for years

Don't you know you
You gave me your love, little girl
You gave me the world
So if you take your love
You take my world with you too

And I say, baby
Oh, pretty little baby
Don't leave me, baby
Hey, pretty little baby
