I Want You To Stay Lyrics - Singles - The Brightwings

sometimes i wonder where you are 

sitting alone in your father's car 

breaking the law 

waiting for the sun to come back up 

'cause baby i never broke your heart 

i tried real hard but you were much too smart 

taking your time 

waiting for your man to fall in love 

and i want, and i want you 

i want you to stay 

and i'll try, and i'll try to 

i'll try to explain 

cuz i want, yeah i want you 

i want you to stay for a while 

i tried to write a song for you 

the beautiful girl with a bad tattoo 

shaking her ass 

dancing to the beat inside her head 

cuz you were the best when the times got hard 

you slept on the roof just to see the stars 

you were the one 

waiting for the california sun 

(chorus) 

and i know it ain't easy 

but i try, not to try 

not to let you fade away 

oh, stay 

i want you to stay 

(chorus)
