Stay

Out in the street at 6AM, another sleepless night

I can usually drink you right off of my mind,

But I miss you tonight.

Thought of giving all away

But, I've got the power and I've got the will,

I'm not a charity case!

Once bitten twice shy

My friends feel it's their appointed duty

They keep tryin' to tell me

My girlfriend's a dick magnet

Wrap me in a bolt of lightning

Send me on my way still smiling

Are you gonna kiss me or not

Laid beside you and I pulled you close

Comfortably numb

All of me loves all of you

I don't care too much for money

Babe, I love you

Don't let the sun go down on me

With the curtains drawn and a little last night on these sheets

Love me like you mean it

We don't have to take our clothes off

The heart wants what it wants

I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

I'm a man of constant sorrow

Imagine all the lonely people

I'm not the only one

Ain't about shoulda, coulda, wish I woulda

You and I, we don't wanna be like them

But there's nothing like the warmth of the one who has put in the time and you know is gonna be there

Bring it on home

Stay
