stay - jennifer nettles lyrics

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?

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?

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

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 i’ve put in it
i’ve given you my best
why does she get the best of you?
so, the 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 is one thing you should know
i don’t have to live this way
baby, why don’t you stay?
