Lyrics

If you ev er leave me, ba by,

to (Em)keep you by my side and keep you from (A)walk in’ out the door.

’Cause (G)there’ll be no sun light (F#m7)if I lose you, (Bm)ba (A)by.

(G)There’ll be no clear skies (F#m7)if I lose you, (Bm)ba (A)by.

(G)Just like the clouds, my eyes will do the same.

If you walk a (Em7)way,

ev ’ry day it ’ll rain,

rain,

rain.

(D)Ooh.

I’ll nev er be your moth er’s fa v’rite.

Ooh.

If I was in their shoes, I’d be do in’ the same thing,

But they’re just a fraid of some thing they can’t un der stand.

Ooh.

But, lit tle dar ling, watch me change their (F#m)minds.

Yeah, for you I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try, I’ll try
