Oh, I thought it was wrongBut lately I've been doing betterThan the last four cold Decembers I recallAnd I see my family every monthI found a girl my parents loveShe'll come and stay the nightAnd I think we might have it allAnd I thank God every dayFor the girl he sent my wayBut I know the things he gives meHe can take awayAnd I hold you every nightThere's a feeling I wanna get used toBut there's no man as terribleAs the man who stands to loseOh, I hope I don't lose youPlease stayI want you, I need you, oh GodDon't takeThese beautiful things that I've gotPlease stayI want you, I need you, oh GodDon't takeThese beautiful things that I've gotPlease don't takeI found my mind, I'm feeling saneIt's been a while but I'm fighting my fateCause everything's good and it's greatWhy do I sit and wait till it's gone?Oh, I'll tell ya, I know I've got a knifeI've got peace and I've got lifeBut I'm up at night thinking I just might lose it allPlease stayI want you, I need you, oh GodDon't takeDon't takeThis beautiful things that I've gotOh, oh, ohPlease stayOh, oh, ohOh, oh, ohOh, oh, oh
