A lonely wife had written a letter one sad To the one she loved who'd wandered far away And her teardrops fell like rain falling the window pane Then she read the note and this it had to say
If you love me come and stay If you don't, stay away Either love me or leave me alone Don't come back and say you'll stay If you plan to leave someday Either me or leave me alone
I can't stand this grief and Sick with heartache, sick with fright Since we've married you've left me to roam I have led a lonely life Since you took me for your wife Either me or leave me alone
me now or say goodbye Don't come back and live a lie You must love me or leave me alone Love yours just can't be true But I'm still in love with you You must love me or leave me alone
If you love me come and stay If you don't, stay away Either love me or leave me alone Don't come and say you'll stay If you plan to leave someday Either love me or leave me alone
