(Sylvester / Clarke / Hicks)
Got a call from the doctor
He said hold on my friend
You've gotta know what I'm knowing
Please come right away

He said Lucy's been seeing me
and things just ain't right
You'll have to hold things together
'cos Lucy ain't much time

Now should I tell her or keep it inside
Making her happy by feeding her lines
How am I gonna tell the children
that Mama's goin' away
I couldn't love another woman
Oh Lucy please stay

If I'm gonna lose you
after all this time
I'm gonna make life more beautiful
I'm gonna make you make you feel fine

If we make tomorrow
we'll make it better every way
We'll keep on building
'cause we're living day to day

chorus

I couldn't love another woman
Lucy please stay

Baby baby
baby Lucy please oh won't you stay

I need you I need you
Please don't go please don't go
Lucy please please won't you stay

I want you to know that I love you
I love you
I'm gonna miss your sweet love
Lucy won't you stay

I need you, I need you.
Please don't go, please don't go.
Lucy, please, please, won't you stay?

I want you to know that I love you.
I love you.
I'm gonna miss your sweet love.
Lucy, won't you stay?
