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