Elvis Costello - Please Stay lyrics

If i got on my knees and i pleaded with you Not to go but to stay in my arms Would you walk out the door Like you did once before This time be different Please stay don't go If i call out your name like a prayer Would you leave me alone with my tears Knowing i need you so Would you still turn and go This time be different in some way Don't go please stay You took me away from the rest of the world When you taught me to love you like this Now i hang my head when i think how you lied But i still can be saved by your kiss I loved you before i even knew your name I wanted to give you my heart But when you came back after leaving me one time Oh i knew, yes i knew that the heartaches would start If i told you my life was a song That was written for you, you alone Would you hurt all my pride Oh, till i cry this time be different Please stay Oh, this time be different in some way Don't go please stay
