We're surely gonna meet again
And if we do, don't you be surprised
If you find me with another lover

Do you want to see me crawl across the floor to you?
Do you want to hear me beg you to take me back?
'Cause I would gladly do it, and I

In your heart I want to stay

I don't want to fade away
Give me one more day, please
I don't want to fade away
In your heart I want to stay
