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 do I have to do to make you see
He 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 he 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 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 of my knees
I´m so tired of being lonely
You cant give you what I need
When he 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

Baby, why don´t you stay
