Stay Lyrics

"Stay"

No one ever said it'd be easy baby, yeah, woah, woah, yeah

Girl I wanna take the time and thank you
Just for putting up with me
And I'm sorry that you even had to deal with me
Even though I made you cry, I wanna make it right
Just give me some time to make it right

I go the extra mile to make you smile and
Just to make your day
I'll go out my way I'll do whatever it takes
Baby promise you'll stay, stay
Stay baby, would you just
Stay, stay, baby
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Baby won't you stay?
With me?

I know that I messed up over a thousand times
Said you wouldn't forgive me but somehow I changed your mind
And now that we're here, I just can't let you go
And I got your ear, baby girl I gotta let you know
I go the extra mile to make you smile and
Just to make your day
I'll go out my way I'll do whatever it takes
Stay baby, would you just
Stay, stay, baby
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Baby won't you stay?
With me?
Hey, stay, stay, stay
Girl I need you in my world
I want you to always be my girl
Even though I messed up, oh, I messed up
You took good care, always took care of me
Baby would you just stay
Stay, stay, stay
Stay right here
Stay, stay, stay
Baby would you stay with me
Put them bags down,let's work it out baby
Stay, stay, stay baby
I want you to believe in me this time
This time this time, I'mma get it together
Stay, stay, what about the marriage life
You were supposed to be my wife...
Put the bags down at the door...
I won't put you through it no more

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
