Can’t Stay Lyrics By Dave Hollister

    girl i gotta go i can’t stay
    you said things would change
    but girl things are still the same
    girl i gotta go i can’t stay
    we stay together putting the front on
    i’d rather be on my own

    when we first met things were fine
    we went out to dine
    we strolled the beach holding hands sharing quality time
    what happened between then and now
    the love we shared was lost somehow
    my freinds tried to tell me
    that we’re moving too fast
    but how could i know the feelings would pass
    it wouldn’t last
    i know i should have left a long time ago
    but i stayed to see
    still hoping and praying you still love me

    x ad lib

    listen
    i took you in treated your children as mine
    then we laid and made love
    and you had my son what a precious time
    i did all that i could to get through to you
    to let you know girl it’s you i was living for
    but you let your mind play games on you
    then when i’m not around
    you think that i don’t know
    that you’re passing time with the guy next door
    i gave you all that i had
    you didn’t love me one ounce
    so like a basket ball i gotta bounce

    ad lib

    listen
    baby can you tell me
    where i went wrong yeah
    all i ever wanted baby baby baby
    was a happy home ohhh to call my own ohhh
    i can’t take no more no doubt
    so i’m telling you
    bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye

    xad lib

    break it down
    break it down
    uhmmmm
    cause i wanna talk to my people this evening
    come on
    and let em know it takes a fool to learn it takes a fool
    that love don’t love nobody
    that’s why i can truly say in my heart
    love don’t live here love don’t live here anymore
    good god almighty
    baby you hurt me so bad
    but ohh i’m mighty grateful
