Need help with some lyrics please: Dolores Keane - Make Me Want to Stay

This is the recording: Dolores Keane - Make Me Want to Stay

These are the lyrics I managed to transcribe with mistakes and omissions that need correcting, thank you:

[Verse]
Don't look at me that way, you know ????
To ??? my ???? again, and wander far away
And leave you here alone with a sadness in your ???
It wouldn't take much more to make me want to stay

[Verse]
Don't sing that song again, the one about your leaving
???Not/but/yet??? in your darkest hour, our love will find a way
And why must you wait to ???hold me tenderly???
It wouldn't take much more to make me want to stay

[Chorus]
Make me want to stay
Make me want to stay
You know it wouldn't take much more
To make me want to stay

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Don't hold me close that way, I can't resist temptation
Won't matter where I roam, I'll think of you each day
And I'll whisper very low, but you won't hear what I'm saying
Please hold me one more time and make me want to stay

[Chorus]
Make me want to stay
Make me want to stay
Please hold me close just one more time
And make me want to stay

[Chorus]
Make me want to stay
Make me want to stay
You know it wouldn't take much more
To make me want to stay

[Verse]
Don't look at me that way; you know it isn't easy
To pack my bags again, and wander far away
And leave you here alone with a sadness in your smiling.
It wouldn't take much more to make me want to stay.

[Verse]
Don't sing that song again, the one about you leaving,
That in the darkest hour, our love will find a way,
And why must you wait till the moment I am leavin'?
It wouldn't take much more to make me want to stay.

Make me want to stay,
Make me want to stay,
You know it wouldn't take much more
To make me want to stay.

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Don't hold me close that way; I can't resist temptation.
No matter where I roam, I'll think of you each day,
And I'll whisper very low, but you won't hear what I'm saying.
Please hold me one more time and make me want to stay.

[Chorus]
Make me want to stay,
Make me want to stay,
Please hold me close just one more time
And make me want to stay.

[Chorus]
Make me want to stay,
Make me want to stay,
You know it wouldn't take much more
To make me want to stay.

I made one or two other fairly minor changes but for the most part your transcription was pretty good
