Tonio K. - The Rake's Progress

Lyrics

(Tonio K.)

Baby don't leave me here alone
don't break our happy home up
think of the children
i know we haven't got no kids
but think of if we did
it would surely upset them ...

well then try & think about me
think about heartbreak, misery
think about all the things that we've been through--
or think about how a cast would look on you

No no don't you go and break my heart
no don' t do it
if you do i'll go crazy
maybe hurt myself
or more significant
i might hurt you

Sweetheart i'm not a violent man
i hope you understand
hope you follow my meaning
but i won't be loved then left behind
this contract says you're mine
and i'm tired of pleading

so i've got to rest my case
don't make that main mistake
without you darlin' i'm completely lost
and think of how much a private room would cost
(you deserve the best)

No no don't you go and break my heart
no don' t do it
if you do i'll go crazy
maybe hurt myself
or more significant
i might hurt you
