[Verse 1]
Love is fading, baby, I can see it in your eyes
Your kisses taste the same but it's just a sweet disguise
Ain't that like just like you to worry about me
When we promised to be honest
Love each other for all eternity?
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're looking for a way out
I won't stand in your way
If you're looking for a way out
[Chorus]
Don't stop at the tears that I'm crying
They'll only make you wanna stay
Don't kiss me again 'cause I'm dying
To keep you from running away
[Verse 2]
Oh baby, tell me I'm wrong
Just say I'm crazy, it's with me that you belong
It's never easy when lovers have to part
Oh come on, stop pretending
Won't you tell me what's in your heart?
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're looking for a way out
I won't stand in your way
If you're looking for a way out
[Chorus]
Don't stop at the tears that I'm crying
They'll only make you wanna stay
Don't kiss me again cos I'm dying
To keep you from running away
[Post-Chorus]
Baby don't run away
Baby don't run away
Say that you'll stay
[Bridge]
Oh come on, stop pretending
Won't you tell me what's in your heart?
[Pre-Chorus]
If you're looking for a way out
I won't stand in your way
If you're looking for a way out
[Chorus]
Don't stop at the tears that I'm crying
They'll only make you wanna stay
Don't kiss me again cos I'm dying
To keep you from running away
[Post-Chorus]
Baby don't run away
Baby don't run away
[Outro]
Stop pretending
Stop pretending
Stop pretending
Please, baby now
Stop pretending
Stop pretending
Stop pretending
Please baby, now
Stop pretending
Stop pretending
Won't you tell me what's in your heart?
Please, baby now
Please, baby now
Stop pretending
Stop pretending
Stop pretending
Please, baby now
Stop pretending
Stop pretending
Don't you know that I'll always...
Please, baby now
Please, baby now
Stop pretending
Stop pretending
Stop pretending
Please, baby now
Stop pretending
Stop pretending
Won't you tell me what's in your heart?
Please, baby now
