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 
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 [bad word] a time 
When you will leave her arms 
And forever be in mine 
But I don't think that's the [bad word] 
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 girl you have to share 

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 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 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, yeah
