When we first fell in love
You said that we'd never part
But now I've come to realize
You're playing this game with my heart

But now times are changin' since you said goodbye
I just don't know what to say

Don't go away, please stay by my side
Don't go away, I need you to be mine
Don't go away, please stay by my side
Don't go away, I need you to be mine

I close my eyes and find
Memories left in the past
Can't get you out of my mind
I try but it just doesn't last

But now times are changin' since you said goodbye
I just don't know what to say

Don't go away, please stay by my side
Don't go away, I need you to be mine
Don't go away, please stay by my side
Don't go away, I need you to be mine

Please boy, I've tried so hard to make things work out right
Wish you were here with me tonight
What more is there that I can say
Please boy don't go away

But now times are changin' since you said goodbye
I just don't know what to say

Don't go away, please stay by my side
Don't go away, I need you to be mine
Don't go away, please stay by my side
Don't go away, I need you to be mine

When we first fell in love
You said that we'd never part
But now I've come to realize
You're playing this game with my heart

But now times are changin' since you said goodbye
I just don't know what to say
