[Intro]
Whoa oh now, whoa oh now
Whoa oh now, whoa oh now

[Verse 1]
How could I leave?
How could I possibly, go on?
If you should say goodbye
Just like a rose
If you don't water it, every morn'
It withers and it dies

[Chorus]
Promise you won't leave me
Promise you won't hurt me
Promise you won't ever make me blue
If you ever leave me, if you should desert me
Baby, I don't know just what I'd do
I don't know just what I'd do
I really don't know just what I'd do

[Verse 2]
It was ordained
That man should leave his mother and cling
Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:31

To the woman that he loves
I'm very sure, that I could never love anyone
The way I love you now

[Chorus]
Promise you won't leave me
Promise you won't hurt me
Promise you won't ever make me blue
If you ever leave me, if you should desert me
Baby, I don't know just what I'd do
I don't know just what I'd do
I really don't know just what I'd do

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh...
Ooh oh now, ooh oh now
Ooh oh now, ooh oh now

[Verse 2]
It was ordained
That man should leave his mother and cling
To the woman that he loves
I'm very sure, that I could never love anyone
The way I love you now

[Chorus]
Promise you won't leave me
Promise you won't hurt me
Promise you won't ever make me blue
If you ever leave me, if you should desert me
Baby, I don't know just what I'd do
I don't know just what I'd do
I really don't know just what I'd do

[Outro]
Oh, oh, oh...
