Please don’t make me go Daddy I want to stay with you Please don’t make me go again There’s nothing there to do
Please don’t leave me here Mommy I don’t want to stay again Can’t I go home with you Mommy I’ll stay here another weekend
I’m not going back up there You have no right to make me If they’re mad then I don’t care Let me stay here with Bubby
Why aren’t you listening Can’t you open your eyes and see I’m begging you to leave me here Don’t take me there and leave
