Stay

I've been sittin' here starin' at the clock on the wall

And I've been layin' here prayin', prayin' she won't call

It's just another call from home

And you'll get it and be gone and I'll be cryin'

And I'll be beggin' you, baby, beg you not to leave

But I'll be left here waitin' with my heart on my sleeve

Oh, for the next time we'll be here

Seems like a million years and I think I'm dyin'

What do I have to do to make you see

She can't love you like me?

Why don't you stay?

I'm down on my knees

I'm so tired of bein' lonely

Don't I give you what you need?

When she calls you to go

There is one thing you should know

We don't have to live this way

Baby, why don't you stay?

You keep tellin' me, baby, there will come a time

When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine

But I don't think that's the truth

And I don't like bein' used and I'm tired of waitin'

It's too much pain to have to bear

To love a man you have to share

Why don't you stay?

I'm down on my knees

I'm so tired of bein' lonely

Don't I give you what you need?

When she calls you to go

There is one thing you should know

We don't have to live this way

Baby, why don't you stay?

I can't take it any longer, but my will is gettin' stronger

And I think I know just what I have to do

I can't waste another minute after all that I've put in it

I've given you my best, why does she get the best of you?

So next time you find

You wanna leave her bed for mine

Why don't you stay?

I'm up off my knees

I'm so tired of bein' lonely

You can't give me what I need

When she begs you not to go

There is one thing you should know

I don't have to live this way

Baby, why don't you stay, yeah?

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
