[Verse 1]
If I got on my knee and I pleaded with you
Not to go but to stay in my arms
Would you walk out the door
Like you did once before?

[Chorus]
This time be different
Please stay
Don't go

[Verse 2]
If I call out your name like a prayer
Would you leave me alone in my tears
Knowing I need you so?
Would you still turn and go?

[Chorus]
This time be different
Please stay
Don't go
Please stay

[Bridge]
I loved you before I even knew your name
And I wanted to give you my heart
But now you came back after leaving me one time
Oh, I knew, oh how I knew that the heartaches would start
[Verse 3]
If I call out your name like a song
Which was written for you, you alone
Would you still hurt my pride
Baby, that I cried?

[Chorus]
This time be different
Please stay
Don't go
Please stay

[Outro]
You know I'll always love you, darlin'
Please stay (Please stay)
Don't go (Don't go)
Please stay
