[English]

Oh, love, I'm a mess right now

Can you help me out? 'Cause it's all gone south

Oh, love, make the hurt not hurt

'Cause the pills don't work, they just make it worse

So when the rights are goin' wrong, and I'm barely holdin' on

Baby, hear when I say

Oh, won't you stay, love, when everybody's leavin'?

Come on, stay, love, to get me through the evening

Oh, I pray, love, that you'll always be the one

And when the road gets rough, don't give up on us

And this could stay, love

Oh, life can be cruel sometimes

It's the perfect crime with an alibi

And I try to make it on my own

But that's a fighter's fight, and I'm the lovin' type

Oh, so when the rights are goin' wrong, and I'm barely holdin' on

Baby, hear when I say

Oh, won't you stay, love, when everybody's leavin'?

Come on, stay, love, to get me through the evenin'

You know I pray, love, that you'll always be the one

And when the road gets rough, don't give up on us

And this could stay, love

Stay, love

Oh, if the world is weighin' on your back

All your colours fade to grey and black

Oh, my darlin', I just hope you know

That I'll stay, love, when everybody's leavin'

Yeah, I'll stay, love, to get you through the evenin'

Oh, I pray, love, that you'll always be the one

And when the road gets rough, I won't give up on us

So won't you stay, love, when everybody's' leavin'?

Come on, stay, love, to get me through the evenin'

Oh, I pray, love, that you'll always be the one

And when the road gets rough, don't give up on us

And this could stay, love
