I believe this song was a message for his friend E.Clapton:

"I don't want to leave her now, You know I believe and how." and also: "Something in her style that shows me. I don't want to leave her now, You know I believe and how."

Until this part, GH was speaking about her, but now he turns to Clapton as he changes "She/her"(Pattie)for "You" (E.Clapton):

You're asking me: Will my love grow ? I don't know, I don't know. You stick around, now: it may show! ...I don't know, I don't know. (this three really emphasized and I would say angry or at least annoyed! Just hear him again. It seems to me He`s telling him: "I cannot agree on your taking her with you" (in fact some time later Clapton came to GH saying he wanted to take Pattie with him and GH said some kind of: "You want her; OK, just take her with you") But at that time he still wanted to keep her and wrote his final message to his friend E. Clapton:

"Something in the things she shows me. I don't want to leave her now, You know I believe and how."
