*Instrumental Introduction *
Please don't go, I love you so,
Don't have to wait, no place to go,
Let's stay together - for a while,
I really mean it, stay for a while.
*Instrumental Bridge*
Beth, I hear you calling,
But I can't come home right away,
Got things I need to tend to,
But don't think of me that way.
*Chorus*
Beth, I'll never leave you,
How could I do that to you? (Do that to you)
'Cause there's no one who could ever take your place.
Now tell me, girl, what's on your mind?
I see you're wearing black today.
Tell me now don't let me guess,
It may be more than I need to know.
*Chorus*
Beth, I'll never leave you,
How could I do that to you?
There's no one who could ever take your place.
All day long I've been on my feet,
I'm beginning to feel beat.
I've got to leave you for the night,
But, girl, I promise you I'll be all right.
*Chorus* (repeat)
*Outro*
Don't look so sad, I know it's tough,
But I've got to go, I can't stay here long enough,
Just wait for me, the time will pass,
And we'll be back together just like we were before,
Oh, Beth.
