Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you ?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal.
Darling you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I’ll be here till the end of time
So you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
Always tease, tease, tease
You’re happy when I’m on my knees
One day is fine, the next is black
So if you want me off your back
Well come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
