[RACHEL]
Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
You love me no longer, I know and
Maybe there is nothing that I can do
To make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
That I ought to stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
But I think you do
So I cry
And I pray
And I beg
[RACHEL with SANTANA, TINA, & ALUMNI]
Love me, love me
[RACHEL (SANTANA & TINA with ALUMNI)]
Say that you love me
(Fool me, fool me) Go on and fool me
(Love me, love me) Pretend that you love me
(Leave me, leave me) Just say that you need me
So I cry and I beg for you to
(Love me, love me) Say that you love me
(Leave me, leave me) Just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you
[RACHEL]
Lately I have desperately pondered
Spent my nights awake and I wonder
What I could have done in another way
To make you stay
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
As long as you don't go
So I cry
I pray
And I beg
[RACHEL with SANTANA, TINA, & ALUMNI]
Love me, love me
[RACHEL (SANTANA & TINA with ALUMNI)]
Say that you love me
(Fool me, fool me) Go on and fool me
(Love me, love me) Pretend that you love me
(Leave me, leave me) Just say that you need me
So I cry and I beg for you to
(Love me, love me) Say that you love me
(Leave me, leave me) Just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you (Anything but you)
(Love me, love me) Say that you love me
(Fool me, fool me) Go on and fool me
(Love me, love me) I know that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you
