If you're in love with me
Why don't you show me
If you can't live without holding me then hold me

I have been ignored and abused and rejected so it's time you told me
If this is what it is then it is not
Anything for me

Are you going to try
Or is it so easy to watch me
Walking out the door

Please
Get down on your knees
Or stand there and shout my name
Till the walls some tumbling
Kiss me and say
You know you can't let me go
Baby please say "stay with me"

I get so tired of scratching
Scratching at your door
You push me out, then let me in
Then you push me out all over again

With you I have been so exposed
Unprotected, and you've never known me
Is it me that you need?
Or is the need simply to own me?

Are you going to try
Or is it so easy to watch me
Walking out the door

Please
Get down on your knees
Or stand there and shout my name
Till the walls some tumbling
Kiss me and say
You know you can't let me go
Baby please say "stay with me"
