Stay

From the album, "Enjoy The Ride"

I been sittin' here staring at the clock on the wall and I been layin here praying praying 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 beggin 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 dont 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 dont have to live this way Baby, why dont 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 dont 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 dont 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 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 dont you stay? I'm up off my knees, I'm so tired of being lonely, You cant give me what I need. When she begs you not to go, There is one thing you should know. I dont have to live this way. Baby, why dont you stay? yeah yeah oh oh oh oha oh
