Lyrics

I do the same thing I told you that I never would
I told you I'd change,
Even when I knew I never could
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey (oh)

I get drunk, wake up, I'm wasted still
I realize the time that I wasted here
I feel like you can't feel the way I feel
Oh, I'll be fucked up
If you can't be right here

Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
Oh, I'll be fucked up
If you can't be right here

I do the same thing I told you that I never would
I told you I'd change,
Even when I knew I never could
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey

I do the same thing I told you that I never would
I told you I'd change
Even when I knew I never could
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey

When I'm away from you, I miss your touch
You're the reason I believe in love
It's been difficult for me to trust
And I'm afraid that I'ma fuck it up

Ain't no way that I can leave you stranded
'Cause you ain't ever left me empty-handed
And you know that I know
That I can't live without you
So, baby, stay

Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
I'll be fucked up
If you can't be right here

I do the same thing I told you that I never would
I told you I'd change,
Even when I knew I never could
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey

I do the same thing I told you that I never would
I told you I'd change
Even when I knew I never could
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey

Oh-oh-oh
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
Play with the song, fill the gaps
