You said it once,
Said it twice,
That it hurts but I do it again
I don't change, I don't learn, cause I can't let it in
Said it's gone, let it be, 'cause you don't need a friend
Baby I do,
I pull and you push and we cry
Til we laughing again, I
Promise you, you promise me backin' and why
Does it all fall apart in just a matter of time

So I'm thinking maybe
You've made up your mind
Cause you're distant (distant )
And I can't stand to fight no more
So please don't make me hurt you like I do
I don't really trust myself to leave,
Even though I hear you sayin' baby no, no
(no, no, no no no, no no)
I can't take no more of this and
I'm knock, knock, knockin' on your door
Askin' if you still let me in
Won't you stay
(ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)
Won't you stay?

Memories of the fun that we had in photographs on the wall
Now I can't make you smile or hear you laugh anymore
And I can't help but ask, what's the point of it all
Tell me baby,
Call it love, call it lame, call it joy, call it pain
But I fell, call it girl what you may is but it's painful as hell
To be here while you're there don't need nobody else

So I'm thinking maybe
You've made up your mind
Cause you're distant (distant )
And I can't stand to fight no more
So please don't make me hurt you like I do
I don't really trust myself to leave,
Even though you're tellin' me
(no, no, no no no, no no)
I can't take no more of this and
I'm knock, knock, knockin' on your door
Askin' if you still let me in
Won't you stay
(ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)
Won't you stay?

If your so meant for me?
And if I'm so meant for you?
Why does this have to be so hard on both of us two?
If your so meant for me?
And if I'm so meant for you?
Why does this have to be so hard on both of us two?

Still you're sayin' (no, no, no no no, no no)
I can't take no more of this and
I'm knock, knock, knockin' on your door
Asking if you still let me in
Won't you stay
(ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)
Won't you stay?
Won't you stay?
(ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, ay)
Won't you stay?
