Verse:
A E
I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
A E
And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call
Bm
It's just another call from home
D A E
You’ll get it and be gone and I'll be crying
A E
I'll be begging you baby, beg you not to leave
A E
But I'll be left here waiting' with my heart on my sleeve
Bm
Oh for the next time we'll be here
D A E
Seems like a million years, and I think I'm dying
Bm D
What do I have to do to make you see
Bm D E
She can't love you like me
A
Why don't you stay
D
I'm down on my knees
Bm
I'm so tired of being lonely
E
Don't I give you what you need

When she calls you to go
D
There's one thing you should know

We don't have to live this way
A E Bm D E
Baby, why don't you stay
Verse
A E
You keep telling me baby there will come a time
A E
When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine
Bm
Well I don't think that's the truth
D A E
And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting
Bm D
It's too much pain to have to bare
Bm D E
To love a man you have to share

Why don't you stay

I'm down on my knees
Bm
I'm so tired of being lonely

Don't I give you what you need

I can't take it any longer

But my will is getting stronger

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 want to leave her bed for mine

Why don't you stay

I'm up off my knees
