In her past, there's lots of people
I know them by their names
Some of them rushed by like water
And some of them were flamesEach and all knew a different girl
Someone I'd never met
They went with her to parties
Good times, she won't forgetAnd here I come with empty hands
Ready to receive
And I just hope she doesn't change her mind
And wanna leaveOh girl, stay right with me
It's gonna get better eventually
Oh girl, stay here with me
It's gonna get better eventuallyI came along when she had offers
Offers left and right
I gave her all I had to give
All my best insightNow she knows the uselessness
The nonsense of it all
Oh, she understands the ways of men
Kicking in their stallOh, here I come with empty hands
Ready to receive
And I just hope she doesn't change her mind
And wanna leaveOh, girl, you got to stay with me
I'll get better eventually
So girl, please stay right here with me
You'll see a change comin' over meAnd sometimes when I look at her
I see a different girl
I wonder what she's thinking
And if she is not out of my worldI've got the feeling that I've done harm
No good there, have I done
I see a nervous stress that once was mine
Of which she asks for noneAnd here I come with empty hands
I'm ready to receive
And I hope that she doesn't change her mind
And wanna leaveGirl, you got to stay here with me
Things are gonna get better eventually
Girl, please stay with me
I feel a change comin' over meGirl, stay with me
I'm gonna change, [Incomprehensible]
Girl, please stay with me
Oh, things will get better eventually
