I been sittin' here
staring at the clock
on the wall
And I've 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 cry.....ing
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 dy...ing
What do I have to do
to make you see
she can't love you
like me
so 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 wa....y
baby why don't you sta..y
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 wa......y
baby why don't you sta..y
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
that you find
you wanna leave
her bed
for mi.....ne
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 wa...y
baby why don't
you sta........y
yeah
Ooh woah woah
oooh
