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
Why don't you stay? I'm down on my knees
But I don't think that's the truth
You keep telling me, baby there will come a time
We don't have to live this way, baby, why don't you stay?
It's too much pain to have to bear to love a man you have to share
I'm so tired of being lonely, don't I give you what you need?
Why don't you stay? I'm down on my knees
And I think I know just what I have to do
And I'll be begging you, baby, beg you not to leave
Oh, for the next time we'll be here
I can't take it any longer but my will is getting stronger
Why don't you stay? I'm up off my knees
What do I have to do to make you see she can't love you like me?
And I don't like being used and I'm tired of waiting
It's just another call from home
I'm so tired of being lonely, you can't give me what I need
Seems like a million years and I think I'm dying
I can't waste another minute after all that I've put in it
When she calls you to go, there is one thing you should know
When she begs you not to go, there is one thing you should know
But I'll be left here waiting with my heart on my sleeve
When you will leave her arms and forever be in mine
I've given you my best, why does she get the best of you?
And you'll get it and be gone and I'll be crying
So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine
We don't have to live this way, baby, why don't you stay? Yeah
