Baby, Still Love Me

I said I was sorry

so please don't treat me this way

Eyes shifting past me

What else can I say?

Why do you have to push me down

When all I want to do is stay?

You said you love mePlease don't throw me away

I said she meant nothing

It was just one day

I don't even know her

Don't even know her name

Why do you have to throw me out

like an empty bottle of wine?

I said I love you

Don't be so unkind

When I was a little girl

I dreamed of holding you tight

A man to take care of me

Keep me safe in the night

You were there when I needed you

Like a favorite shoe

Now you don't want meBut baby, I want you

You don't understand what I was going through

When I needed to cry, I couldn't find you

You were out on the town so I went at it alone

Drifting from place to place, like a queen's lost her throne

Why couldn't you just let me in?Maybe we wouldn't be here

But I can't blame you if you disappear

It was just one lonely night

While you were out with your friends

But does this really meanall that we have ends?

Won't you please just let me explain

Maybe you will understand

I want you so bad, babeDon't want no other man

But now you're leavingGoing out in the cold

Pushing past melike somebody you don't know

Please just give me a chance

to prove that it's still me

Baby, I love youWon't you still love me?
