Why Would You Stay
by: KemThere's a light shining on you
And baby, I'm trembling inside
Loved a woman that I barely knew
I must have been out of my mind
Oh I, I'll never hurt you again
Girl I, I know you deserve a better man
Hey I, I was a fool to ever let you down
So why would you stay?
Woman, I beg your forgiveness
And I'll do whatever it takes
And may the Lord be my witness
Honey, I never meant to treat you this way
Sugar, your heart has been broken
But I can still see true love shine in your eyes
When every word has been spoken
Woman, I'll love you for the rest of my life
Oh I, I'll never hurt you again
Girl I, I know you deserve a better man
Hey I, I was a fool to ever let you down
So why would you stay?
Oh baby, don't know why
Why you would stay
Baby, baby, you're my baby
Hey girl, yeah
I, I'll never hurt you again
Girl I, I know you deserve a better man
Girl I, I was a fool to ever let you down
But I want you to stay
Girl I, I'll never hurt you again
Baby, I know you deserve a better man
Girl I, girl I, I was a fool to ever let you down
