Verse 1

You used to tell me that you loved me every day

I didn't know what to say

But there never any doubt I always knew

That to me you'd stay true

But my heart never could be so poetic

So all my transgressions you permitted.

Chorus

Why did you stay?

Why did you stay?

Why did you stay?

 When I treated you that way

Verse 2

I was so cruel (but he was so kind)

Why did I feel I had to leave you behind

But he was so sweet

  n/

Oh yeah, we'll I've had just about enough of sweet.

Chorus

Why did you stay?

Why did you stay?

Why did you stay?

 When I treated you that way

 n/

Why did you stay?

Why did you stay?

Why did you stay?

Why did you stay?

Why did you stay?

Why did you stay?
