Stay, stay, stay-ay
Hello, thought about you
Just picked up the phone
(I called do you find)
So I wanna explain
I hope you don't mind
I say to you why I'm callin'
Before you answer wait a second
You know why I called
It's because I wanna see you
Boy I don't mean to second guess us
I do this every time
It's gotta seem a lot
The more that you push
I turn you away
Please stay, stay stay
Cause sometimes I move
The wrong kind of way
When I reach out to you
And pull you to stay, stay stay
Stay, stay
Stay, stay
Stay stay
Stay stay
Why, why do I treatcha
Treatcha so bad
When you deserve much more
Why do you put up with this
I don't know
What am I in your life for
(In your life for)
Before you answer wait a second
I know what it is, yea it's me
I see you pleading.. Yea
I just get nervous, cause I like ya
I do this every time
It's gotta seem a lot
The more that you push
I turn you away
Please stay, stay stay
Cause sometimes I move
The wrong kind of way
When I reach out to you
And pull you to stay, stay stay
Oh every time I say it's the end
I pull you back again
(Turn around and do it again)
Oh I knew you wish, I make up my mind
And set it right
Ohh the more that you push
I turn you away(turn you away)
Please stay, stay stay
Cause sometimes I move
The wrong kind of way
When I reach out to you
And pull you to stay, stay stay
Stay, stay(ohh)
Stay, stay(I need you to stay)
Stay stay(yea)
Stay stay(no, I said I wantcha)
Stay stay
Stay stay
Stay stay
Stay stay
Stay stay
Stay stay
Stay stay
Stay stay
Stay stay
