Stay Lyrics - American Idol

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? Yeah 

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 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 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, oh
