You've got the right to tell me it's all over It isn't like me to be begging you Don't let go, don't let go Just stay with me another day When I'm not myself please understand me I'm so confused I don't know what to do But don't give up, don't give up It just may take a little time Be tender with me baby I'm so afraid you'll go away Be tender with me baby Always, for always I know that you've been patient with my weakness And that you hate to see me cry But I know, yes I know I doesn't have to be this way But I'm so lonely I could die Be tender with me baby I'm so afraid you'll go away Be tender with me baby Always, for always Why does my heart keep hurting Why do I feel like I do I hope you see this is not really me That it's just a phase that I'm going through Be tender with me baby Baby Be tender with me baby Coz I'm so afraid you'll go away Be tender with me baby For always Always Be tender with me baby Coz I'm so afraid you'll go away Be tender with me baby Always For always Always
