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!
