VERSE 1
You used to tell me that you loved me every day
I didn't know what to say
But there never any doubt I always knew
That to me you'd stay true
But my heart never could be so poetic
So all my transgressions you permitted.
CHORUS
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
When I treated you that way
VERSE 2
I was so cruel (but he was so kind)
Why did I feel I had to leave you behind
But he was so sweet
Oh yeah, we'll I've had just about enough of sweet.
CHORUS
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
When I treated you that way
n/c E
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
With me
