you don't have to say you love me
I know
don't be afraid I will ever leave you
I will never go
now don't you worry about the future
I will always be by your side
and if you ever need some shelter
my arms will be open wide

don't hang your head down baby
don't you cry
you look so down and worried
I wish that you would tell me why
wish that you would tell me why

but I didn't go to bed
considered the things he said
I couldn't believe my eyes
everything seemed so nice
I never thought that this could happen
but it did
when I was bringing comfort to my baby
he decided to quit

and he said
don't hang your head down baby
don't you cry
you always seemed so pleased
that I was forced to tell you lies

and he said
don't hang your head down baby
don't you cry
don't hang your head down baby
I only wanna say goodbye
only wanna say goodbye

and he said
and he said
don't hang your head down
ooh come back
ooh baby come back
please baby come back
ooh baby come back
come back
come back
come back yeah
