Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
You love me no longer, I know
And maybe there is nothing
That I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
That I ought to stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
But I think you do

And so I cry, and I pray, and I beg

Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Fool me, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me
Lead me, lead me
Just say that you need me

So, I cry, and I beg for you to

Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Lead me, lead me
Say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you

And lately I have desperately wondered
Spent my nights awake and I wondered
What I could have done in another way
To make you stay
Reason will not teach a solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
As long as you don't go

So I cry, and I pray, and I beg

Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Fool me, fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me, love me
Pretend that you love me
Lead me, lead me
Just say that you need me

So I cry, and I beg for you to

Love me, love me
Say that you love me
Lead me, lead me
Say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you
