Wanting Her To Stay
Going through life a day at a time.
No one to share a dream with through time.
Is that what life it’s all about?
Is there no reason to jump and shout?
I have a dream of a future with you.
Sharing our lives in all that we do.
If only you would feel the same.
There would be so much more to gain.
There has got to be a better way.
After one night, to have her stay.
There’s more to life than going all the way.
I just want her to want to stay.
Stick around through the thick & thin.
Want me more than she wants him.
We could live together but, not in sin.
I just want her to want to stay.
Life drags on when you’re all alone.
The loneliness hurts down to the bone.
She’s with another but, she won’t stay.
Leaving in the morning is just her way.
She won’t commit to anything lasting.
She only wants it to be a fast thing.
A commitment could hurt her bad.
She won’t relent—- It is so sad.
There has got to be a better way.
After one night, to have her stay.
There’s more to life than going all the way.
I just want her to want to stay.
Stick around through thick & thin.
Want me more than she wants him.
We could live together but, not in sin.
I just want her to want to stay.
In the past she must have been burned.
It hurt her enough she won’t return.
Won’t commit to that kind of love again.
Will this nightmare ever come to an end?
I have poured out my heart to her.
The day I hurt her will never occur.
I just pray and wait for the day.
The day she will want to stay..
