Lyrics

Please Please

Love comes in spurts

And love is all around us

Love is what it does

Sometimes it hurts

Does that strike you rather strangely?

Does it ever, love?

Please, please, please

No need to be so cruel

Please, please, please

Don't treat me like a fool

Love comes in spurts

Sometimes it gets to be too much

To rise above

Please, please, please

No need to be so cruel

Please, please, please

Don't treat me like a fool

If you love me you would leave me

Leave me time to be alone

Please believe me, that would leave me time to love you

Does that strike you funny, love?

Be-bop-a-lua

Be-bop-a-lua

She's my baby

When it's over, promise me that you'll go

When it's over, promise you'll let me know

When it's over, promise me that you'll go

Just because, what it was becomes another empty cup of memories

Love comes in spurts

And love is all around us

Love is what it does

Sometimes it hurts

Does that strike you rather strangely?

Does it ever, love?

Please, please, please

No need to be so cruel

Please, please, please

Don't treat me like a fool

If you love me you would leave me

Leave me time to be alone

Please believe me, that would leave me time to love you

Does that strike you funny, love?

When it's over, promise me that you'll go

When it's over, promise you'll let me know

When it's over, promise me that you'll go

Just because, what it was becomes another empty cup of memories
