Please don’t go, no no no;
If you go I’ll be sad and blue,
So I say no no no, don’t go away.

Oh no please don’t leave, baby please;
If you should leave my poor heart would grieve
So I say nay nay nay, baby please stay.

And I’ll do ev’rything you want me to
If you promise that you won’t leave tonight
‘Cause I’ll break down and cry a river of tears
With just the thought of you not here in my life.

So please don’t go, no no no;
If you should go I’ll be sad and blue,
So I say no no no, don’t go away.
Yeah baby, baby, baby.

And I’ll do ev’rything you want me to
If you promise that you won’t leave tonight
‘Cause I’ll break down and cry a river of tears
With just the thought of you not here in my life.
