Sit down I think I love you Anyway I'd like to try I can't stop thinking of you If you go I'll know I cry Can't you see that I'm a desperate man I can hide, just being around You want to know What they say about the bird in my hand And that's why I ain't leaving without you So if you want someone to love you Pretty babe I'm your guy It's not much I'm asking of you Just please give me a try
