Why don't you stop! (click, click) and think it over ? 
Before (click, click)) you say it's over, 
Because (click, click) 
It'll never be over for me 
 
Think of all the happy times we knew, 
All the memories I shared with you
Think of all the happy times we knew, 
All the memories I shared with you

Don't walk out the door and say goodbye, 
Isn't what we had worth one more try? 
Don't walk out the door and say goodbye, 
Isn't what we had worth one more try? 

I just don't know, what I would do, 
Darling, without you, 
What a cold an' lonely place this world would be 
I just don't know, what I would do, 
Darling, without you, 
What a cold an' lonely place this world would be

If you leave me now, you'll hurt me so, 
Just for ol' times sake before you go . . .
