A-ha-haaa-aaah
You don't love me, yes I know
A-ha-haaa-aaah
You don't love me, yes I know

Well, you left me baby
And I have no place to go

Yes I love you
I'll do anything you say
Yes I love you
I'll do anything you say

If you say you love me
I'll get on my knees and pray
If you say you love me
I'll get on my knees and pray

If you say you love me
I'll get on my knees and pray
