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'

My Heart on my sleave

Oh for the next time we'll be here seems like a million years and I think I'm dyin'

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 bein' lonely

Don't I give you what you need

When she calls you to go

There's one thing you should know

We don't have to live this way

Baby, why don't you stay

You keep tellin' me baby

There will come a time

When you will lieave 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's 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 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 wou 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's one thing you should know

I don't have to live this way

Baby why don't you stay
