Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Believe me when I tell ya it didn't mean a thing
I couldn't really blame you if you walk right out on me
I know that second chances, they don't come so easily
[Chorus]
Please don't take your love away
Please, I'm begging you to stay
I'll do anything and everything just to make it right
Baby, baby, baby, don't leave me, please, please
I'm so afraid you're gonna say that I've run out of time
And you can't find it in your heart to drive this from your mind
Is losing you forever just the price I have to pay
Or boy can you forgive me, forgive me when I say
[Chorus]
I couldn't really blame you
If you walked right out on me
I know that second chances
They don't come so easily
[Chorus]
Please, please
Baby, please
