there's an old sayin'
that just won't leave my mind
and you know I've been praying
girl you know that you're one of a kind
and I know that you're lonely, baby
and I know you've been sad
and I've been dyin' to see you

there's a picture of you
that's deep inside of my soul
and I wouldn't do
anything you didn't want me to
'cause I get a little worried darlin'
'cause you gotta keep on the right track
and I'm callin' you
so won't you please come back

Chorus:

baby why don't you stay
I can't stop you from leavin'
baby don't go away
you gotta keep on believin'
baby why don't you stay
let's make a brand new start
and let's have a little heart to heart

so let's make a toast
to the times that we've had
'cause I love you the most
thru' the good and thru' the bad
if you want good lovin'
you know where I will be
so won't you please come back
baby come back to me

and let's make a brand new start
'cause the only thing that I want
is for you to be happy, baby

baby why don't you stay...
