[Verse 1]
From a whisper in the wind to a loud, loud scream
A message came that I'd lost you
All to the warmth of another woman
For Heaven sakes, baby, I'm begging you, just don't leave me
[Verse 2]
I've seen more tears fall from your eyes
Than all the showers of April
I took kindness for granted
As if it came with the wallpaper
[Refrain]
Lord, so inconsiderate of how much you cared
For some stupid reason I just thought you had to be there
[Chorus]
Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love
Baby, baby, baby, please don't leave me
I'm begging you, I'm on my knees now, baby
[Verse 3]
I simply must have been crazy
I must have been out of my mind
To over look the need in you
Lord, how could I have been so blind?
[Refrain]
Lord, Lord, never giving thoughts to your wants and needs
But now I'm begging, baby, please, please, please
[Chorus]
Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love
I'm begging you, my love
[Refrain]
Hey, so inconsiderate of how much you cared
For some stupid reason I just thought you had to be there
[Chorus]
Oh my love, oh my love, oh my love
Talking about my love
[Refrain]
Never giving thoughts to your wants and needs
Now I'm begging you, baby, please, please, please
[Chorus]
Oh my love, my love, my love
Baby, just don't leave me now
[Outro]
Oh my love, oh my love
Oh my love, oh my love
