Sugarland - Stay Lyrics
I’ve been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall
And I’ve been laying here praying, praying she won’t call
It’s just another call from home
And you’ll get it and be gone
And I’ll be crying
And I’ll be begging you, baby
Beg you not to leave
But I’ll be left here waiting
With my Heart on my sleeve
Oh, for the next time we’ll be here
Seems like a million years
And I think I’m dying
What do I have to do to make you see
She can’t love you like me?
Why don’t you stay
I’m down on my knees
I’m so tired of being lonely
Don’t I give you what you need
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We don’t have to live this way
Baby, why don’t you stay
You keep telling me, baby
There will come a time
When you will leave her arms
And forever be in mine
But I don’t think that’s the truth
And I don’t like being used and I’m tired of waiting
It’s too much pain to have to bear
To love a man you have to share
Why don’t you stay
I’m down on my knees
I’m so tired of being lonely
Don’t I give you what you need
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We don’t have to live this way
Baby, why don’t you stay
I can’t take it any longer
But my will is getting stronger
And I think I know just what I have to do
I can’t waste another minute
After all that I’ve put in it
I’ve given you my best
Why does she get the best of you
So next time you find you wanna leave her bed for mine
Why don’t you stay
I’m up off my knees
I’m so tired of being lonely
You can’t give me what I need
When she begs you not to go
There is one thing you should know
I don’t have to live this way
Baby, why don’t you stay, yeah

Sugarland - Stay Review by countryuniverse.wordpress.com
This their finest single to date. Jennifer Nettle turns in an achingly vulnerable vocal, with only an acoustic guitar backing her up for most of the song. �Stay� is the story of the other woman who slowly finds her pride and refuses to �live this way.� It’s very difficult to make the woman on the wrong side of the marital affair to appear sympathetic, but �Stay� is startlingly effective at doing so. I first heard this months ago, but it still blows me away every time I listen to it.
About the Lyrics
The song’s lyrics tell of a woman who is with a married man, and she wants to know why she can’t give him what he needs. She wants him to stay with her whenever his wife calls him back home. In the end, she says that he isn’t giving her what she needs: “Why don’t you stay? / I’m up off my knees / I’m so tired of being lonely / You can’t give me what I need / When she begs you not to go / There is one thing you should know / I don’t have to live this way / Baby, why don’t you stay?”

I’m not a big country fan but I heard this song twice on the radio by accident, i could not and still don’t believe how much passion she put into this song. The song is great but without her passion and the amount of feeling she poured into every lyric, this would just be another song. It is rare that an artist truly feels what they are singing but it is obvious,especially after watching the video,she relates to the lyrics in some way. This will forever be one of my favorite performances by any artist.
