Please, don't leave this way   There's still so much to say   And we could always talk together   Swallow your pride and sit down   Smooth away that frown   If we must part let's leave as friends      We were such a happy go-lucky pair   All the dreams we shared   I can't believe it's true, after all that we've been through   Please don't go   One thing I'm certain of, I have no doubt   People need each other, that's what life's about   And oh, if we can try then baby by and by   We can work it out      Please let down your guard   Life can be so hard   And we could always help each other   You've got no reason to cry   This is not goodbye   For I will always love you      My love is an open book   If you take a look you can read between the lines   I smile and say 'I'm doing fine'   Please don't go   Don't you know, baby if you go   A part of me will never be the same no more   Turn around, let's try it   Just one more time      Please don't leave me this way   There's still so much to say   And we could always talk together   You've got no reason to cry   This is not goodbye   For I will always love you   Don't you know I care      Care about you yes I do baby I'm still your friend   What we have to share   Share a dream now there's no end Can never end   We were such a happy go lucky pair   All the dreams we shared   I can't believe it's true   After all that we've been through   Please don't go   One thing I'm certain of, I have no doubt   People need each other, that's what life's about   And oh, if we can try then baby by and by   We can work it out
