Baby, don't stand there in the doorway With all your bags ready to go Baby sit down, and let's talk it over Oh I need to know What do you think you're gonna find? A man that treats you sweeter What are you looking for? A place where the grass grows greener The world is cold out there I'm the one who really cares Don't say goodbye girl Take a look inside and read my mind girl Everything I do, I do for you Don't leave me crying, crying Maybe my crime was caring 'bout you Wanting you close by my side Maybe you need some space around you Some room to fly Don't ever think I'll hold you back My love will lift you higher And when you call my name I'll be there right beside you Together we'll get by Give this love another try Don't say goodbye girl Take a look inside and read my mind girl Everything I do, I do for you Don't leave me crying, crying Baby you know you mean the world to me (You mean the world to me) I never loved nobody the way that I love you (Never loved nobody) The way it feels when I'm close to you (Feels so good baby) When I'm holding you touching you What do you think you're gonna find? No man could treat you sweeter Just wait and you will see We'll make the grass grow greener The world is cold out there I'm the one who really cares Don't say Don't say goodbye girl Take a look inside and read my mind girl Everything I do, I do for you Don't leave me crying, crying Don't say goodbye girl Take a look inside and read my mind girl Everything I do, I do for you Don't leave me crying, crying
