Stay

LETRA

Stay

I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
And I've been laying here praying, praying he 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 he 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 he 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 telling me, baby, there will come a time
When you will leave his 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 girl 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 he 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 getting 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
I've given you my best, why does he get the best of you
So next time you find you wanna leave his 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 he 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
Baby, why don't you stay
