WHY CAN'T HE STAY

Words and Music by Mickey McBride

Verse 1

WHY CAN'T HE STAY FOR A LIFETIME,

WHY MUST HE RUSH OUT MY DOOR,

WHY CAN'T HE STAY PAST MY BEDTIME,

IS THIS WHAT I BARGAINED FOR?

Verse 2

HE COMES AROUND IN THE EVENING,

AND THERE WE SIT, WATCHING TV,

I HATE THE THOUGHT OF HIM LEAVING,

OH, WHY CAN'T HE STAY WITH ME?

Bridge

I WISH THAT HE COULD RESIDE WITH ME,

THAT'S WHAT I WOULD PREFER,

BUT, WHEN HE LEAVES,ALL MY HEART PERCEIVES...

IS HIM GOING HOME TO HER,

Verse 3 (1st Ending)

HE MAKES GREAT LOVE IN THE EVENING,

HE HANDLES ME TENDERLY,

BUT, THEN HE'S GONE, AND I'M GRIEVING,

OH, WHY CAN'T HE STAY WITH ME?

Bridge (Repeat Bridge and Skip to 2nd Ending)

Verse 3 (2nd Ending)

HE MAKES GREAT LOVE IN THE EVENING,

HE HANDLES ME TENDERLY,

BUT,THEN HE'S GONE, AND I'M GRIEVING,

AND LONELY AS I CAN BE......,
