[CHORUS]
Lover, please, please come back
Don't take a train coming down the track
Don't, please don't, don't leave me
Don't leave me in misery
You would never hold me so near
You would never call me dear
Don't you know I'd die for you
Now you've gone
That's what I'll do
[repeat CHORUS]
All those stories, not too long
About a love that went all wrong
The girl left the boy just as bad
Now she's gone, she's so sad
[repeat CHORUS]
You would never hold me so near
You would never call me dear
Don't you know I'd die for you
Now you've gone
That's what I'll do
Lover, please, please come back
Don't take a train coming down the track
Please don't, don't, don't leave me
Don't leave me in misery
