lyrics

Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t tell me that Don’t tell me after all this time You dreamt of someone’s love And it hasn’t been mine Don’t make me cry Don’t make me cry anymore Cos I dreamt of someone’s love And it’s always been yours Cos there’s enough pain in this world Without the tears of this broken girl Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t leave me Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t leave me Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t lecture me Don’t tell me that it’s only for the best It’s you who’s been untrue So just give it a rest Don’t twist the knife Don’t throw away the love we had before Don’t walk out of my life Don’t walk out the door Cos there’s enough pain in this world Without the tears of this broken girl Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t leave me Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t leave me Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t do it, don’t leave If I said that I wanted you Could you say that you needed me If you thought what I said was true Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t leave me Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t leave me Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t do it, don’t leave Don’t do it, don’t leave The thought of you leaving me Brings desperate jealousy The thought of you being free Brings pain and misery Don’t leave me Please don’t quit my life Don’t leave me, leave me Don’t leave me Don’t do it, don’t leave

I don’t want to be alone In a world like this Don’t want to be on my own I don’t want to be alone In a world this cruel Who would be on their own Do I want you, yes I do That’s the difference between me and you Do I need you, no I cry At least on that we see eye to eye Oh I don’t know what’s happened to me It’s just a question of time ‘til I make you mine And I don’t know what it all means But right now being with you is what I wanna do I don’t want to be alone In a world like this Don’t want to be on my own I don’t want to be alone In a world this cruel Who would be on their own In a world so cold could I feel at home If it feels this good Is it understood I don’t want to be alone In a world like this Who would be on their own Does it disturb you the way they stare And whisper loudly as if you weren’t there Is it them or is it me It doesn’t seem like loving to me Do I love you, do I love you not You don’t want to know so let’s let it go Do I want you, do I want you not You don’t want to know but it’s starting to show I don’t want to be alone In a world like this Don’t want to be on my own I don’t want to be alone In a world this cruel Who would be on their own In a world so cold could I feel at home If it feels this good is it understood I don’t want to be alone In a world like this Who would be on their own Run to hide away Run to hide away I don’t want to be alone Run to hide away Run to hide away I don’t want to be alone Run to hide away Run to hide away You don’t want to know but it’s starting to show I don’t want to be alone In a world like this Don’t want to be on my own I don’t want to be alone In a world this cruel Who would be on their own In a world so cold could I feel at home If it feels this good is it understood I don’t want to be alone In a world like this Who would be on their own Do I want you, yes I do Yes I do Yes I do Yes I do

The ride has stopped It’s over now The fruits of love Left on the bough It’s hard to think The way we’ve been It’s hard for me to stop loving him And now we go our separate ways To dream of love Of better days Now all that’s left A second chance Could I suggest we try to love again One more romance I’ll do my best To try to love again But when you’ve loved someone As much as anybody can It’s hard to try It’s hard to try again We’re out of love And out of time Just shadows of when you were mine Disturb the peace of lonely nights Through sympathetic demi-light But do you ever think of me Alone here in your memory Now all that’s left A second chance Could I suggest we try to love again One more romance I’ll do my best To try to love again But when you’ve loved someone As much as anybody can It’s hard to try It’s hard to try again Trying not to think of you Trying not to cry Trying not to call you Admit that it’s goodbye Goodbye Now all that’s left A second chance Could I suggest we try to love again One more romance I’ll do my best To try to love again A second chance Could I suggest we try to love again One more romance I’ll do my best To try to love again But when you’ve loved someone As much as anybody can It’s hard to try It’s hard to try again It’s so hard to try It’s hard to try again

How long is it I’ve known you So long now I forget I’ve dipped my feet in the water But I’m scared of getting wet There’s a voice still inside of me And it’s quieter than a mouse Cos where his leaving led me to Led me to an empty house Alright, alright Led me to an empty house I don’t want to say goodnight Just want to hold you tight Baby bite your lip are you up for it I don’t want to say goodnight Just want to say I might Baby this is it, are you up for it I don’t want your kiss goodnight Just want to get it right Baby bite your lip are you up for it How long is it since love left So long I can’t recall I’ve said some things that I shouldn’t have But some weren’t said at all There’s a feeling I get sometimes It’s strange as hell alright But where his leaving led me to Led me to a sleepless night Alright, alright Led me to a sleepless night I don’t want to say goodnight Just want to hold you tight Baby bite your lip are you up for it I don’t want to say goodnight Just want to say I might Baby this is it, are you up for it I don’t want your kiss goodnight Just want to get it right Baby bite your lip are you up for it All I wanted was someone who would care for me I never in all my life thought just how hard that would be It’s not a matter of time To get to you No one else is gonna do It’s not a matter that I misunderstood No one else could make me feel so good You make me so good Yeah, yeah, yeah I don’t want to say goodnight Just want to hold you tight Baby bite your lip are you up for it I don’t want to say goodnight Just want to say I might Baby this is it, are you up for it I don’t want to say goodnight Just want to hold you tight Baby bite your lip are you up for it I don’t want to say goodnight Just want to say I might Baby this is it, are you up for it I don’t want your kiss goodnight Just want to get it right Baby bite your lip are you up for it

If You Want to Stay (It's OK) [feat. Lou Taylor, Sue Da Silva & Mark Da Silva] 04:36
lyrics

I took a chance on you Exposed a part of me I’d locked away I wouldn’t let it see the light of day ‘Cos love cuts so deep So you’ve been hurt before The scars of love you’re wearing every day Every minute since she went away ‘Cos love hurts so deep I, I know you loved then, so why not again? It makes no sense Oh, what I mean to say If you want to stay, it’s OK I know myself I never thought that I could say these things I’ve felt cold steel on my heart strings Love cuts all the way Never thought I’d say these things I, I know you loved then, but never again? It makes no sense Oh, what I mean to say If you want to stay, it’s OK It’s OK I know it’s crossed your mind Don’t need to tell you that it’s been on mine Not that I’ve left all my doubts behind But love feels so good I, I know you loved then, but never again? It makes no sense Oh, what I mean to say If you want to stay, it’s OK I, I know you loved then, but never again? It makes no sense Oh, what I mean to say If you want to stay, oh it’s OK Yeh, it’s OK It’s OK Said, it’s OK Ooh ooh it’s OK Said it’s OK It’s OK
