[Verse]
A D
Wait! Before you walk out that door
A D
Hang your clothes in the closet
D
You're forgetting one thing
A E
I'm the one who saved you
F#m A
From a long lonely life
A E
I'm the one who gave you
F#m A
Your first taste to paradise
E
Look how you payin' me back
F#m
Look how you turnin' your back
E
Please don't do me like this, honey
F#m
All this good love, you're gonna miss
[Verse]
A D
Think about it, honey
A D
You really ought to think about it 'fore you leave me
A E
Dig this: I'm the one who showed you
F#m A
How to live when you wanted to die
A E
I'm the one who taught you
F#m A
How to laugh when you wanted to cry
E
But look what you're doing to me
F#m
Look how you're hurting me
E
Please don't do me like this
F#m
All of this good lovin' you're gonna miss
A D
Think about it, baby, listen
A D
You really, really ought to think about it 'fore you leave
E
You really ought to think about it
F#m A
Deep down think about it 'fore you leave me
N.C.
Do this for me honey
[Bridge]
Bm
Don't make me no lonely man
C#m
Don't try to push me out of your plan
Bm
Don't try to kick out love aside
E
Just wait
N.C.
Before you tell me goodbye
[Outro]
A D A D
A
You really, really, really, really, really ought to think about it
D
How I give it
A
You really, really, really ought to think about it
D A
How I live it
D
One million times
A D
I better stay up all night
