Please

[Verse 1: Rhonda Vincent]
We've been crippled in love
Short changed and hung out to dry
We've chalked on the walls
A slogan or two about life

[Pre-Chorus: Rhonda Vincent]
Stood dazed in the doorway
The king and queen of clowns
We've been flipped like a coin
Both of us landing face-down

[Chorus: Rhonda Vincent & Dolly Parton]
So please, please
Let me grow old with you
After everything we've been through
What's left to prove?
So please, please
Please, oh, please
Let me grow old with you

[Verse 2: Dolly Parton]
We've been livin' with sorrow
Been up, down, and all around
We've buried our feelings
A little too deep in the ground

[Pre-Chorus, Rhonda Vincent, Both]
Stood dazed in the doorway
The king and queen of clowns
We've been flipped like a coin
Both of us landing face-down

[Chorus: Rhonda Vincent & Dolly Parton]
So please, please
Let me grow old with you
After everything we've been through
What's left to prove?
So please, please
Please, oh, please
Let me grow old with you

[Bridge: Rhonda Vincent, Both]
But tied to the same track, the two of us look back
At oncoming trains ahead
How many more times can we lay on the line
Watchin' our love hang by a thread?

[Chorus: Both, Rhonda Vincent, Dolly Parton]
So please, please
Let me grow old with you
After everything we've been through
What's left to prove?
So please (Please), please (Please)
Please, oh, please
Let me grow old with you
Oh, please (Oh, please)
Let me grow old with you
