Wish I knew
Why I’m so in love with you
No one else in this world will do
Darling please save your love for me
Run away
If I were wise I’d run away
But like a fool I stay
And pray you’ll save your love for me
I can feel it
Even when you’re not here
Can’t conceal it
I really love you my dear
And though I know no good
Can come from loving you
I can’t do a thing I’m so in love with you
So darling
Help me please
Have mercy on a fool like me
I’m so unwise but still I plead
Darling please save you love for me
I can feel it
Even when you’re not here
Can’t conceal it
I really love you my dear
And though I know no good
Can come from loving you
I can’t do a thing I’m so in love with you
So darling help me please
Have mercy on a fool like me
I know I’m lost but still I plead
Darling please save your love for me
You can have fun with the crowd
But for crying out loud
Darling please save your love for me
