If I had to I would lie for you 
And baby I would cry I'd cry for you 
If I have to I'll get down on my knees for you 

Times at home I've waited up for you 
And it you let it'll make you black and blue 
Please don't go not this time 
Oh no don't leave me tonight 

Don't leave me tonight don't leave me tonight 
Don't leave me tonight oh no no 

If you only knew what you put me through 
And how many night I've waited up for you 
Thinkin' about you baby every night 
Now you're here and you've gotta go home 

We can hide out and rondavous 
Just me and just you 
So please baby please don't put up a fight 
Oh no don't leave me tonight 

Don't leave me tonight don't leave me tonight 
Don't leave me tonight oh no no 

Don't leave me tonight (oh baby not tonight) 
Don't leave me tonight (I can't take it this time) 
Don't leave me tonight (Oh no no no) 

He don't love you half as much as I do 
Promise you'll stay the night and love me too 
Yeah yeah yeah 

I can't stand another night alone 
Or talkin' to you on the phone 
So tell 'em that we're runnin' away 
Tell 'em anything you want 
Please stay now don't say you'll go 

Don't leave me tonight 
Everything's gonna be all right

Don't turn your back and walk away
