Lyrics
STAY
Day after day, keep feeling gray can?t seem to see what?s wrong
Games that you play I can?t make you stay. Don?t know what I did wrong
What can I say? Are you ok? How can I fix what?s wrong?
Turn me away. Our love?s astray. All that I do is wrong?
(chorus)
Stay! Stay! Stay! Stay!
Stay a little longer
Baby won?t you; Stay! Stay! Stay! Stay!
Stay a little longer
Why don?t you stay? I?ll blow you away; I?ll show you that I?m strong
Come back today. Don?t make me pay! Why make me wait so long?
I?m fading away. Try as I may to believe that we belong
Why won?t you say; ?-Baby, It?s ok! Our love is holding on!?
(chorus)
(rap)
If I could I would baby. But all this bullshit is driving me crazy. Lately I ?aint been feeling you and all the things you do. Feeling like further and further from each other we?re drifting. More time spent trippin?, more time spent flippin?. Telling me I aint listening. And all this stuff is upsetting. Some things are beyond fixing.?Cause a 100% of the love is what I had. I know you want me to stay baby, but I can?t. Don?t be sad. Everything has a breaking point to where it can?t go no more. And everything has a limit to where it can?t hold no more. Like a house termite infested, it must be destroyed. And all this bullshit be repeating itself over and over. I don?t even go to amusement parks ?cause I can?t stand roller coasters. Maybe in our next life we will be right, recorrect the wrongs and make this house a happy home. But until then, I love you but I?m gone!

Will or won?t you say you will. Do you want this? Do you want this?
Will or won?t you say you will. Do you want this? Do you want?
Will or won?t you say you will. Do you want this? Do you want this?
