Gaye
Won't you let me have a say
In the way you behave
I won't last another day

If you decide to go away.

You're the tray of nice things
I upset yesterday
The display of bright rings
I let slip away.

Oh Gaye
You allay my every fear
In a most extraordinary way
If I thought that I could find my way without you
I would not ask you to stay.

INSTRUMENTAL

You're the tray of nice things
I upset yesterday
The mainstay of my dreams
That I let slip away.

Gaye
Won't you let me have a say
In the way you behave
I won't last another day
If you decide to go away.

Don't go away
Oh please stay
Don't go away
Please stay.
