 Do you love me
 Do you need me
 Tell me the truth tonight
 Do you love me
 Do you need me
 Can I still call you mine
 
 I've heard the same old story
 So many times
 For every lie you've told me
 I'd be a rich man if I had a dime
 
 Why do you take me
 Why do you rake me
 Over your red hot coals
 Why do you scold me
 After you hold me
 Why do you turn so cold
 
 The lad's constant cruisin'
 Expains the tears
 The lonely path she's
If I didn't love her would I still be here
 
 Please hold on, stay with me
 Tell me what you have in mind
 Please hold on, stay with me
 Baby, don't you leave me behind
 
 Do you love me
 Do you need me
 Tell me the truth this time
 Do you love me
 Do you need me
 Can I still call you mine
 
 Soft lights and quiet music
 Forgets your name
 Some people try to use it
 But loneliness chooses the rules to the game
 
 Please hold on, stay with me
 Tell me what you have in mind
 Please hold on, stay with me
 Baby, don't you leave me behind
 Please hold on, stay with me
 Loneliness will leave you blind
 Please hold on, stay with me
 Fall in love with me this time
