If I have to sleep on your doorstep, all night and day, 

Just to keep you from waking away. 

Let your friends laugh, even this I could stand,

               C (bass only) 
Now I've got a love so deep, in the pit of my heart, 

And each day it grows more and more, 

I'm not ashamed to come and plead to you baby,

If pleading keeps you from walking out that door.
