Tell your man I'm stuck on this lovely girl
'Cause to me she mean all the world
But then she like another guy
I fall down dead, she never see the tears I cry - said

    How long      can the days go on (oh wo wo)
    When my love is so strong (oh wo wo)
    And I know I cannot tell a lie, oh wo wo

    I wanna see him go by (be-bye) bye (be-bye) bye bye bye bye bye-bye

And I wonder, I wonder what she would say
If I told her, if I told her that I felt this way
You know it might make a turn, might make a turn, might make a turn either way
So all I can do is patiently pray, pray, I pray pray pray - said

  Please, please, please, do not go  x 3

    Post-refrain

I tell you man, I'm stuck, I'm stuck, I'm stuck on this lovely girl
And you know I could travel, I could travel over the whole world
And you know what she does, she turn around, she turn around, she like another guy
Oh what can I do, I fall down dead, she never see the tears I cry
   
  Please, please, please, do not go  x 2

  Please, please, please, do not go, oh oh  x 2

  Please, please, please, you hurt me so, oh oh  x 2

  Please, please, please, I got something to show you  x 2
