I know you
Don't know what I'm going through
Standing here looking at you
Well let me tell you that it hurts so bad
It makes me feel so sad

She's in love don't stand in her way
But let me tell you that it hurts so bad

Stay I'll do anything you want me to
You loved me before please love me again

I'm begging you please please don't go please don't go
