Why don't you stay - KMurdock Music Group
I know you say that you love me
Love me
But baby you must be out your mind
Out your mind
I saw you Tuesday at the uptown line
With that woman from the west side
Don't even try to lie
The way you act is plain to see
Plain to see
Your loving took a mini cab
Mini cab
You're always running round South Street
Running round town
Giving me the runaround
Got me looking like a clown
I also saw you at the Blue Note last week
Betty said you bought drinks for every woman you could meet
I can't take this any longer
No no
This thing we got just ain't getting stronger
Ooh baby why you playing these games
Playing games
Pretending that you feel a certain way
Certain way
I'm tired of the lies, done with all this pain
All this pain
If you love me true baby why don't you stay
Why don't you stay
Tell me why don't you just stay
You whisper pretty words so soft and sweet
Soft and sweet
Like honey dripping but the jar's empty underneath
Leave roses on my desk at work and then you're gone all week
I'm growing wise to your deceit
Your deceit
And I won't let this heart be weak
Heart be weak
Your cologne on different pillows
Phone numbers in your pockets from the Delphonic show
I won't be a fool no more
Fool no more
Can't walk through that revolving door
Bout lipstick on your collar baby that ain't my shade
You better get it together right now
Or I'll be gone just like the morning cloud
Ooh baby why you playing these games
Playing games
Pretending that you feel a certain way
Certain way
I'm tired of the lies, done with all this pain
All this pain
If you love me true baby why don't you stay
Why don't you stay
Tell me why don't you just stay
My sister saw you down on Market Street
Buying jewelry but it ain't for me
That Continental parked outside all night
That belongs to someone else am I right
You come home smelling like chinata
But I wear Charlie what you got to say
The credit card bills tell the story clear
Restaurants I've never been tickets for shows I didn't hear
Ooh
I've been patient and I've been kind
Giving you chances time after time
But my mama didn't raise no fool
And loving you ain't worth breaking every rule
Ooh baby why you playing these games
Playing games
Pretending that you feel a certain way
Certain way
I'm tired of the lies, done with all this pain
All this pain
If you love me true baby why don't you stay
Why don't you stay
Don't you dare try to tell me that you care
That you care
