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
and 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
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 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 down on my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely
you can give me what I need
When she calls you 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
