I don’t know just what to say
To keep you from leaving.
No, I don’t know what to do
To make you want to stay.
But I would say and I would do
Anything you want me to,
If I thought it would make things right.
Because I just don’t know if I
Could make it through a lonely night.
I don’t know just what to say
To keep you from crying,
And I don’t know what to do
When you look at me that way.
But I would say and I would do
Anything you want me to,
If you’d just stay and hold me tonight.
Because I just don’t want to try
To make it through a lonely night.
