Don't leave me baby, please don't go
Don't leave me baby, please don't go
I swear I love you baby more than I did before

You left me drunk standing in the back door crying
You left me drunk standing in the back door crying
If you don't come back I'm afraid I'll lose my mind

Everybody makes mistakes baby and I've paid for mine
Everybody makes mistakes baby and I've paid for mine
Please come back baby try me one more time

That teacher, that preacher, that gambling man
They're all trying to make it on the easy plan
The lawyer, the doctor, even down to baker
They're all trying to keep up with the undertaker
Chauffeur run around with the sonographer girl
Drummer in the band beating their way through the world
The preachers jump straight up and down
-in the corner proud Alabama bound

Don't leave me baby, please don't go
Don't leave me baby, please don't go
I swear I love you baby more than I did before

That teacher, that preacher, that gambling man
They're all trying to make it on the easy plan
The lawyer, the doctor, even down to baker
They're all trying to keep up with the undertaker
Chauffeur run around with the sonographer girl
Drummer in the band beating their way through the world
The preachers jump straight up and down
-in the corner proud Alabama bound

Don't leave me baby, please don't go
Don't leave me baby, please don't go
I swear I love you baby more than I did before
