Please Do Not Go
Violent Femmes, The
Violent Femmes (2000)

Tell you, mon, I'm stuck on this lovely girl
'Course to me, she mean all de world
But then she like another guy
I fall down dead, she never see the tears I cry

[chorus]
Said please please please do not go
Please please please do not go
Please please please do not go

How long can the days go on
[oh whoa whoa]
When my love is so strong
[oh whoa whoa]
And I know I cannot tell a lie
Oh whoa whoa
I wanna see him go bye
[goodbye]
Bye
[goodbye]
Bye bye bye bye bye bye!!

Now I wonder, I wonder what she would say
If I told her, if I told her that I felt this way
Y'know it might make her turn, make her turn, make her turn either way
So all I can do is patiently pray, pray
A'pray pray pray

[repeat "How long..."]

[repeat chorus]

Tell you, man, I'm stuck, I'm stuck, I'm stuck on this lovely girl!
And y'know I could travel, I could travel all over the whole world!
And you know what she does?
She turn around, she turn around, she like another guy!
What can I do? I fall down dead;
She never see the tears I cry.

Please please please do not go [4 times]
Please, please please, you hurt me so [2 times]
Please, please, please, I got something to show you [2 times]
