I know that you're with him just now as I write
 I know you need someone to hold you at night
 But I'm begging you, baby
 Please don't fall in love
 I knew it might happen when I was away
 And now that it's happened, I just want to say
 That I'm begging you, baby
 Please don't fall in love
 I'm usually strong but I'm feeling so weak
 It wells up inside me, I cry when I speak
 But the more I call you on the phone
 The more I feel alone
 And the less we have to say
 I know that you're with him just now as I write
 I know you need someone to hold you at night
 But I'm begging you, baby
 Please don't fall in love
 I knew it might happen when I was away
 And now that it's happened, I just want to say
 That I'm begging you, baby
 Please don't fall in love
 We kissed at the airport, we said we could wait
 I believe it is we who determine our fate
 And I love you more than I can say
 Don't throw it all away
 Don't let it go by
 I know that you're with him just now as I write
 I know you need someone to hold you at night
 But I'm begging you, baby
 Please don't fall in love
 I know you don't tell me, to spare me the pain
 Don't want you to tell me, I don't need his name
 That I'm begging you, baby
 Please don't fall in love
