Jennifer Nettles - Stay lyrics

I've been sittin' here staring At the clock on the wall And I been layin' here Prayin' 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 will 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 But 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 bear To love a man 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 will 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 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 the 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 yeah oh oh oh oh oh
