Ooooh, babe Don't leave me now Don't say it's the end of the road Remember the flowers I sent I need you, babe To put through the shredder In front of my friends Ooh babe Don't leave me now How could you go? When you know how I need you To beat to a pulp on a Saturday night Ooh babe, don't leave me now How can you treat me this way? Running away Ooh babe Why are you running away? Ooh babe
