[Verse 1]
Once upon a time
I met a girl going through a rough time, and so was I
I was hurting real bad (Can you fix me, baby?), ah
When you get off work you know that I'll be waiting
I got flowers for you, girl, so you know I ain't playing
When you get off work you know that I'll be waiting

[Chorus]
Don't leave me, baby, 'cause I won't be alright
I can't fall asleep if you're not by my side
A world without your love, I'd rather not be alive
I'd rather die than feel this way

[Post-Chorus]
If you forget what I said
I'll forget what you did

[Verse 2]
Once upon a time (Upon a time)
Committing crimes
Had no future on my mind
'Cause I was blind
Had to put it all behind
'Cause she said that she was mine
Tat your name, you tattooed mine
We met when we were offline
[Chorus]
Don't leave me, baby, 'cause I won't be alright
I can't fall asleep if you're not by my side
A world without your love, I'd rather not be alive
I'd rather die than feel this way
Don't leave me, baby, 'cause I won't be alright
I can't fall asleep if you're not by my side
A world without your love, I'd rather not be alive
I'd rather die than feel this way

[Post-Chorus]
If you forget what I said
I'll forget what you did
