[Verse 1: Bill Champlin]

Do you love me?

Do you need me?

Tell me the truth tonight

Do you love me?

Do you need me?

Can I still call you mine?

I've heard the same old story

So many times

For every lie you've told me

I'd be a rich man if I had a dime

[Verse 2: Bill Champlin]

Why do you take me?

Why do you rake me

Over your red hot coals?

Why do you scold me?

After you hold me

Why do you turn so cold?

The lady's constant cruising

Explains the tears

The lonely path she's choosing

If I didn't love her, would I still be here?

[Chorus: Bill Champlin & Group]

Please hold on, stay with me

Tell me what you have in mind

Please hold on, stay with me

Baby, don't you leave me behind (Hold on)

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Bill Champlin]

Do you love me?

Do you need me?

Tell me the truth this time

Do you love me?

Do you need me?

Can I still call you mine?

Soft lights and quiet music

Forgets your name

Some people try to use it

But loneliness chooses the rules to the game

[Chorus: Bill Champlin & Group]

Please hold on, stay with me

Tell me what you have in mind

Please hold on, stay with me

Baby, don't you leave me behind

Please hold on, stay with me

Loneliness will leave you blind

Please hold on, stay with me

Fall in love with me this time

Please hold on, stay with me

Tell me, tell me what you have in mind
