Can’t Stay Away

1st Verse:
-“Compare this to back pain. I feel this dance that we do is puttin’ weight on me. And when I look at it that way, seems worse than a tumor on my brain would be. But she shows me that sad face, I know the real deal but it looks good to me. She’s always got me runnin’ out, tryin’ not to make her shout, thinkin’ only to myself: Is there a different route? But no I’ll stick to the plan, and work with what I got. Cuz I like the mean girls, whether I’m happy or not. So now she can’t complain if there’s a slight delay. She’s got me runnin’ out the door into the pourin’ rain”

Chorus
- “That’s why I can’t stay away. Miss more than kisses, love’s not what this is. I can’t stay away. Like a moth to a flame, it burns just the same.”



2nd Verse:
-“I came back with champagne. She didn’t waste much time she poured a glass for herself. If there’s one thing I can say, I almost feel better when I’m put through hell. But it seems such a damn shame, to feel that pain I know it all to well. But now she’s got me everyday, runnin’ out of things to say, if I only had more sense then I’d stay away. But now she’s got me on hold, because she don’t know what she wants. When I ask her what’s wrong, she couldn’t be more blunt. So now I never believe, or trust the things she’d say. Is there anybody out there who can feel my pain?”

Chorus :
-“That’s why I can’t stay away. Miss more than kisses, love’s not what this is. I can’t stay away. Like a moth to a flame, it burns just the same.”

Bridge:
-“Right now, it’s coming out.”(8x)
“Right now!”(2x)
“Damn!”


-“Caught myself this time, daydreamin’ on the job. ‘Bout a mile a minute, but its so right, I can’t stop. I know what I gotta do, I hope I can come through, for you and for me, end of story, I’ve been bored but it’s not boring to me.”

-“No it wasn’t too long before I realized, I was hiding in my own disguise, you helped me open up my eyes, and you were gone for a long time. I want to tell you...”

-“Well if I chartered a jet to take me all the way to Mexico, I still won’t forget my inability to let you go. I’d be right back on the very next plane. I know it’s lame, but all the same, ya heard I can’t stay away. Cuz that girlie’s got me thinkin’ on the brink of regret. Regrettin’ the time and the place of the day that we met. But I’ll believe it when I see it, she’s got nothin’ to say. A story that is borin’ me, but I can’t stay away.”

Chorus:
-“That’s why I can’t stay away. Miss more than kisses, love’s not what this is. I can’t stay. Like a moth to a flame, I can’t stay away.”
