Why Do I Stay Lyrics

Why Do I Stay

You said pack up your bag

Come away with me

In goes the black dress, a red lingerie

Dinner at seven and I get ready

Only to find out it ain't with me

And I lay awake waiting, anticipating

I'm such a fool

I stare at my dress as it lay unused

Why do I put up with such abuse

You're back in the morning

As though nothing has happened

You still like what I cooked, and again, I am taken

So I lay awake waiting, anticipating

I'm such a fool

I keep asking myself why do I stay

Do I go where it's greener and stay away

Do I go or stay

Memories and children I can't ignore them

So many reasons others can't fathom

No one can say why people stay

It's not yours to decide how one survives

Strange but it's true what one can do

When your love's all in vain

Somehow find joy in pain

So I lay awake waiting, anticipating

I'm such a fool

I keep asking myself why do I stay

Do I go where it's greener and stay away

Do I go or stay

I keep asking myself why do I stay

Do I go where it's greener and stay away

Do I go or stay
