(Benson) In her past there's lots of people |
|
I know them by their names |
|
Some of them rushed by like water |
|
And some of them were flames |
|
Each and all knew a different girl |
|
Someone I'd never met |
|
They went with her to parties |
|
Good times she won't forget |
|
And here I come with empty hands, ready to receive |
|
And I just hope she doesn't change her mind and want to leave |
|
Oh, girl stay right with me |
|
It's gonna get better eventually |
|
Oh, girl, stay here with me |
|
It's gonna get better eventually |
|
I came along when she had offers |
|
Offers left and right |
|
I gave her all |
|
I had to give |
|
All my best insight |
|
Now she knows the uselessness |
|
The nonsense of it all |
|
Oh, she understands the ways of men |
|
Kicking in their stall |
|
Aw, here I come with empty hands, ready to receive |
|
And I just hope she doesn't change her mind and want to leave |
|
Oh, girl, you got to stay with me |
|
I'll get better eventually |
|
So girl, please stay right here with me |
|
You'll see a change coming over me |
|
And sometimes when |
|
I look at her, |
|
I see a different girl |
|
I wonder what she's thinking and if she is not out of my world |
|
I've got the feeling that |
|
I've done harm, no good there have |
|
I done I see a nervous stress that once was mine of which she asks for none |
|
And here I come with empty hands, |
|
I'm ready to receive |
|
And I hope that she doesn't change her mind and want to leave |
|
Girl, you got to stay here with me |
|
Things are gonna get better eventually |
|
Girl, please stay with me |
|
I feel a change coming over me |
|
Girl, stay with me |
|
I'm gonna change, has to |
|
Girl, please stay with me |
|
Oh, things will get better eventually. |
