If I Stay Too Long

Bob Garner, Eddie Phillips

Walking up to your street
Rehearsing everything I'll say
I know I'll say it different
Or at least another way

So if I stay too long
It's 'cause I need ya

Hope that you won't make me cry
Like you did the other night (Do you remember?)
People stopped and stared at me
As if I wasn't right (Don't worry)

If I stay too long
It's 'cause I want ya (Yes I do)

I'm nearly to your door now
Oh, my heart beats so inside
I hope that you will see me
I ain't gonna take it for a ride (No I won't)

If I stay too long
It's 'cause I love ya (You know I do)

Oh now! If I stay too long
(You know) It's 'cause I loves ya

Now we're sitting hand in hand
So relax, I'm feeling fine
I gotta hear it from your lips
Will I forget about the time?

If I stay too long
Now, now, don't be worried...
(And will you say) If I stay too long
Now don't be worried about a thing...
