Sugarland is a Grammy Award winning country music duo composed of lead singer Jennifer Nettles and back-up singer/instrumentalist Kristian Bush. The duo was originally founded by Bush and Kristen Hall and became a trio when Jennifer Nettles was brought in as lead singer. Hall left the group after the release of Sugarland's debut album Twice the Speed of Life to persue songwriting. "Stay" is from Sugarland's second album Enjoy the Ride and written about infidelity and knowing when to let go. It is a beautiful, touching and emotional ballad.
Stay by Sugarland 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, 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? Oh..
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? Oh..
