Say Please

Well, I cried out my eyes the night that you left

And I begged for a sinner's reprieve

And I'll never forget the shame that I felt

When you loosened my grip on your sleeve

You said "Baby, you didn't do anything wrong-

There's just something that I have to see"

And I said "I'll never forgive you for this-

Not even if you say please"

I wanna hear you say please, baby, please

I'm stupid, I was wrong

And you knew it all along

So get

Down on your knees, baby

Swallow up your pride

You know, it wouldn't hurt to cry, and say please..

After you left, you know it took me awhile

To get myself off of the ground

It was maybe a month before thy got me to smile

Baby, I've never been so down

I know you think that I'm just being mean

And you're right, cuz I'm still mad at you

So if you want back in my graces tonight

There's just one thing you gotta do

I wanna hear you say please, baby please

I'm stupid, I was wrong

And you knew it all along

So get

Down on your knees, baby

Swallow up your pride

You know, it wouldn't hurt to cry, and say please..

You must have thought I was clay in your hands

That I needed the strength of your two legs to stand

Well, baby guess what, I'm standing just fine

It turns out that I've got a little steel in my spine

And I hope you got a box with a pretty bow on top

Give me all the shiny things, your apologies and rings

Let me make this very clear

I gotta see you shed a tear

Baby, I can wait all night, so if you wanna make this right

Say please..
