I wasn’t built for the back burner
Don’t try to save me for a rainy day
You come in like a thunderstorm
You blow out like a hurricane (you’re like a hurricane)…
WHY DO YOU SAY GOODBYE, THEN STAY A LITTLE LONGER
I CAN’T EVEN CLOSE THE DOOR
WHY DO YOU MAKE ME CRY THEN TAKE AWAY YOUR SHOULDER
I DON’T WANNA LIVE ALONE ANYMORE.
I did all I could to treat you good
I never even took a holiday
But now I’m saying all the things I should
It’s time to shoot it straight (it’s time to shoot it straight)…
WHY DO YOU SAY GOODBYE, THEN STAY A LITTLE LONGER
I CAN’T EVEN CLOSE THE DOOR
WHY DO YOU MAKE ME CRY THEN TAKE AWAY YOUR SHOULDER
I DON’T WANNA LIVE ALONE ANYMORE
THE TRUTH IS THERE’S SOMEONE WAITING
AND I DON’T WANT TO TURN HIM AWAY
SO YOU CAN’T STAY.

SO YOU CAN’T STAY.
You had my heart but you let it slip away
Now you’re coming back around and you can’t stay.
