I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
And I've been laying 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 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 so 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 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 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 bare

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 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 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 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
