Stay

I've been sittin' here stairin' 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, yeah?
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 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 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?
Ho-ho ho, ho-hoo-ho, ho
