Theresa

i been sittin' here staring

at the clock on the wall

and i been layin 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 beggin 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 dont you stay

im down on my knees
im 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 dont have to live this way

baby why dont 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 bare

to love a man you have to share

why dont you stay

im down on my knees

im 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 dont have to live this way

baby why dont 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 the next time you find

you wanna leave her bed for mine

why dont you stay

im up off my knees

im so tired of being lonely

you cant give me what i need

when she begs you not to go

there is one thing you should know

i dont have to live this way

baby why dont you stay
