Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
You love me no longer, I know
And maybe there is nothing
That I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
That I ought to stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
But I think you do!

So I cry, and I pray and I beg:

Anything but you.

Lately I have desperately pondered,
Spent my nights awake and I wonder
What I could do have done in another way
To make you stay.
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
As long as you don't go.

So I cry, I pray and I beg:

Anything but you...
