[English]

I never understood a word they said

Kept running in woods so long instead

Somewhere, somehow, I guess I lost it all

Try to keep it up and standing tall

Why don't you stay, stay cause I could really use a friend

Stay, please stay cause my heart really needs a man

Somewhere, somehow, I guess I lost it all

Stay, stay here with me

...

I'm trying to make it up for my mistakes

But everywhere I turn some hearts will break

Something, someone, will end up getting hurt again

And there's no need to pay printen

Why don't you stay, stay cause I could really use a friend

Stay, please stay cause my heart really needs a man

Somewhere, somehow I guess I lost it all

Stay, stay here with me

...

You used to say that I was great

But I make too many mistakes

Your heart will break because of me, because of me

But I just want, yeah I just want, but I just want, want you to stay

Why don't you stay, stay cause I could really use a friend

Stay, please stay cause my heart really needs a man

Somewhere, somehow, I guess I lost it all

Stay, stay here with me

Why don't you stay, stay cause I could really use a friend

Stay, please stay cause my heart really needs a man

Somewhere, somehow I guess I lost it all

Stay, stay here with me

...
