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
