I wasn’t built for the back burner
|
Don’t try to save me for a rainy day
|
You come in like a thunderstorm
|
You blow out like a hurricane (you’re like a hurricane)…
|
|
WHY DO YOU SAY GOODBYE, THEN STAY A LITTLE LONGER
|
I CAN’T EVEN CLOSE THE DOOR
|
WHY DO YOU MAKE ME CRY THEN TAKE AWAY YOUR SHOULDER
|
I DON’T WANNA LIVE ALONE ANYMORE.
|
|
I did all I could to treat you good
|
I never even took a holiday
|
But now I’m saying all the things I should
|
It’s time to shoot it straight (it’s time to shoot it straight)…
|
|
WHY DO YOU SAY GOODBYE, THEN STAY A LITTLE LONGER
|
I CAN’T EVEN CLOSE THE DOOR
|
WHY DO YOU MAKE ME CRY THEN TAKE AWAY YOUR SHOULDER
|
I DON’T WANNA LIVE ALONE ANYMORE
|
THE TRUTH IS THERE’S SOMEONE WAITING
|
AND I DON’T WANT TO TURN HIM AWAY
|
SO YOU CAN’T STAY.

WHY DO YOU SAY GOODBYE, THEN STAY A LITTLE LONGER

THE TRUTH IS THERE’S SOMEONE WAITING
|
AND I DON’T WANT TO TURN HIM AWAY
|
SO YOU CAN’T STAY.
|
|
You had my heart but you let it slip away
|
Now you’re coming back around and you can’t stay.
