Lyrics:

I no longer can recall all the times you made me crawl
All the times you made me hang my head and cry
But still the teardrops fall and lord, what's worst of all
I just ain't got the nerve to say goodbye

I'm waiting for the day when I can hide my love away
And stand up like a man, so tall and free
Then you'll be the one to say, 'Oh darlin', can't you stay?'
I don't know what I'd do if you should leave me

Oh girl, I don't know why you always have to try
To hurt me, to make me feel ashamed
Oh, but some day by and by you're gonna be the one to cry
And walk the floor and sadly call my name

Oh, I'm waitin' for the day when I can hide my love away
Stand up like a man, so tall and free
Then you'll be the one to say, 'Oh darlin', can't you stay?'
I don't know what I'd do if you should leave me

Oh, but it looks like until then I'll throw pride to the wind
And try to make believe that I don't know
That a day is coming when you won't do me wrong again
And I will be the one to turn and go

I'm waitin' for the day when I can hide my love away
Stand up like a man, so tall and free
Then you'll be the one to say, 'Oh darlin', can't you stay?'
I don't know what I'd do if you should leave me
I don't know what I'd do if you should leave me
