Please, please, please get up off of your knees Please, please, please, please Riff 4 So love is bigger than us But love is not what you're thinking of Solo Riff 4 It's what lovers deal, it's what lovers steal You know I've found it hard to receive -silence- Cause you, my love, I could never believe Outtro with Please-theme (Riff 2)
