Stay

I've been sittin' here staring
At the clock on the wall
And I been layin' here
Prayin' she won't call
It's just another call from home
And you'll get it and be gone
And I'll be crying
And I'll be begging you baby
Beg you not to leave
But I'll be left here waiting
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 dying

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 being lonely
Don't I give you what you need
When she calls you will go
There is one thing you should know
We don't have to live this way
Baby why don't you stay

You keep telling 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 being used
And I'm tired of waiting
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 being lonely
Don't I give you what you need
When she calls you will 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 getting stronger
And I think I know 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 the 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 being 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 yeah oh oh oh oh oh
