                                LYRICS

Verse I:

Tell you man I'm stuck on this lovely girl
Of course to me she mean all the world
But then she like another guy
I fall down dead, se never see the tears I cry

Chorus:

Please Please Please Do not go.... (X3)

Verse II:

How long can the days go on
When my love is so strong
And I know I cannot tell a lie
I wanna see him go bye (X 7 more bye's)

Verse III:

Now 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 her turn, might make her turn, might make her turn
either way
So all I can do is patiently pray, pray pray pray pray..

Chorus:

Bass Lead:

Verse IV:

Tell you man I'm stuck on this lovely girl
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
Well what can I do I bomber out there
She never seen the tears I cried

Chorus, Then fade.
