I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall And I've been laying 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 begging you, baby imagery
Beg you not to leave
But I'll be left here waiting
With my Heart on my sleeve metaphor
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 don't you stay
I'm down on my knees
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
We don't have to live this way
Baby, why don't 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 bear
To love a man you have to share
Why don't you stay
I'm down on my knees
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
We don't have to live this way
Baby, why don't 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 next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine
Why don't you stay
I'm up off my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely
You can't give me what I need
When she begs you not to go
There is one thing you should know
I don't have to live this way
Baby, why don't you stay, yeah
In the song "stay" by sugarland the speaker is begging her man not to leave. In the first verse, the speaker is hoping her man wont get a call from another girl. If he does he will be gone. He doesn't stay he goes place to place. The speaker just want s him to stay. "And I've been laying here praying, praying she won't call, It's just another call from home, And you'll get it and be gone"
verse two: even though he gets the call and he is going to leave, the speaker begs him to not go and when he does her heart is broken. " Beg you not to leave,But I'll be left here waiting With my Heart on my sleeve" all she wants him to stay.
verse three:" And I think I'm dying,What do I have to do to make you see,She can't love you like me?, Why don't you stay" The speaker is saying how she cant see what the girl has that she doesn't. She is trying to say how the girl cant love him as much she can.
In verse four, the speaker has given up on him. she wont be waiting for him. She is insinuating that she wont be there the next time he comes back to her. She is finished being hurt time after time and decided she is better off with him. "But my will is getting stronger, And I think I know just what I have to do."
The speaker is finally over the man who kept breaking her heart time after time. She just wanted him to stay and not leave for the other women, not until later on in the song does she figure out that he is always going to come back and leave. She decides to stop the pain by leaving him, not being the one begging him when he leaves. She is sick of it so she is just keeping him out of her life.
