WHY DON'T YOU WANNA STAY?
(Ehlert/Storace '96)

A city boy was livin' on his own
He played guitar in a couple of bands
And held a job in a worker's cafe
Just to survive

This flower girl possessed his heart and soul
But was afraid that it could get out of hand
She couldn't move into his apartment 
at this time

He always felt so lonely when she went
Live was heaven  time was pleasant
When they loved and held each other tight

Why don't you wanna stay, with me
Why don't you wanna stay, tonite
'Cause it makes no sense in living on your own, girl,
Please tell me you will stay     Please stay-ay-ay!

When  summer came, he got so busy playin'
He had to quit the job at the cafe
Travellin' round, with the boys in the band
Livin' the night life

His flower girl, would start to complain
She had a fit, when he flew to L.A.
Praying for time hanging on to her man
Gettin' uptight

Why don't you wanna stay, tonite (she said)
Why don't you wanna stay tonite
'Cos I need your love so come on take me home boy
Please say you wanna stay

Why don't you wanna stay, tonite (she cried)
Why don't you wanna stay tonite
'Cos I need your love so come on take me home boy
Please say you wanna stay

And now she feels so lonely when he's gone
Life was heaven, life was pleasant
Destiny has played its part, oh my

Do you really want to stay with me
Do you really want to stay tonite
'Cos I've gotten used to livin' on my own girl
This boy just needs some space

Do you really want to stay, tonite
Hey girl do you really want to stay tonite,
I need my  freedom ,space to be my self, I need to be alone
Or I will suffocate    

Do you really?
A-do-ya, do you really?
Do you really?
A-do-ya, do you really?
Do you really?
A-do-ya, do you really?
Do you really?
