Stay Away

Stay away, leave me alone

Stay away from my door

'Cause you'll hurt me again

Like you hurt me before

Don't want no excuses

I don't want no more lies

I don't like crying

So I keep it inside

Do me a favor, for God's sake, please

Stay away, stay away!

Stay away, out of my dreams

Stay away from my nights

You're there in the darkness

So I need no other lights

I don't want no whiskey

'Cause it brings back the pain

Makes me call you at midnight

And beg you to come back again

Do me a favor, for God's sake, please

Stay away, stay away!

'Cause time is just too short

To waste it on regrets

They say it heals a broken heart

That's waiting to forget

Oh, stay away, leave me alone!

Stay away from my door

'Cause you'll hurt me again

Like you hurt me before

But if you should need me

Don't think it's all right

Don't think you can call me up

In the middle of some lonely night

'Cause if I see you

I'm afraid I might say

Don't stay away

So, stay away!
