I tried to pretend that I didn't care
But now I confess I must have you near
Whatever you do, don't leave me now

I've been running round
With somebody new
But when I'm with him
I still think of you
I'm lonesome and blue
Don't leave me now

My friends all think I'm crazy
I shouldn't care they say
But they don't know I love you so
Just can't go on this way

Forgive and forget
Don't live in the past
Just love me and say
You're back home at last
Whatever you do, don't leave me now

Now or forever
Thinking about you
The whole night through
I'll always love you
Whatever you do
But don't, don't leave me now
