Sugarland – Stay
CAPO 2ND FRET
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
You’ll get it and be gone and I'll be crying
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
She can't love you like me
CHORUS:
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's 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
Well 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
CHORUS
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'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 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 want to 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's one thing you should know
I don't have to live this way
Baby why don't you stay
