Please

[Verse 1: Rhonda Vincent]

We've been crippled in love

Short changed and hung out to dry

We've chalked on the walls

A slogan or two about life

[Pre-Chorus: Rhonda Vincent]

Stood dazed in the doorway

The king and queen of clowns

We've been flipped like a coin

Both of us landing face-down

[Chorus: Rhonda Vincent & Dolly Parton]

So please, please

Let me grow old with you

After everything we've been through

What's left to prove?

So please, please

Please, oh, please

Let me grow old with you

[Verse 2: Dolly Parton]

We've been livin' with sorrow

Been up, down, and all around

We've buried our feelings

A little too deep in the ground

[Pre-Chorus, Rhonda Vincent, Both]

Stood dazed in the doorway

The king and queen of clowns

We've been flipped like a coin

Both of us landing face-down

[Chorus: Rhonda Vincent & Dolly Parton]

So please, please

Let me grow old with you

After everything we've been through

What's left to prove?

So please, please

Please, oh, please

Let me grow old with you

[Bridge: Rhonda Vincent, Both]

But tied to the same track, the two of us look back

At oncoming trains ahead

How many more times can we lay on the line

Watchin' our love hang by a thread?

[Chorus: Both, Rhonda Vincent, Dolly Parton]

So please, please

Let me grow old with you

After everything we've been through

What's left to prove?

So please (Please), please (Please)

Please, oh, please

Let me grow old with you

Oh, please (Oh, please)

Let me grow old with you
