So cry if you need to, but I can't stay to watch you
That's the wrong thing to do
Touch if you need to, but I can't stay to hold you
That's the wrong thing to do
Talk if you need to, but I can't stay to hear you
That's the wrong thing to do

from Drake (Ft. Stevie Wonder) – Doing It Wrong Lyrics on Rap Genius

In these lines, Drake is talking about how he CAN stay and pretend with her but it’s not right because she’ll end up getting comfortable again

This is the part of the song most directly jacked from McLean’s tune
