You used to tell me that you loved me everyday,
I didn't know what to say,
But there was never any doubt I always knew,
That to me you'd stay true.

But my heart never could be so committed,
For all those transgressions you permitted.

Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay when I treated you that way?

I was so cruel,
(But he was so kind),
Why did I feel I had to leave you behind?,
(But he was so sweet),
Oh yeah,
Well, I've had just about enough of sweet.

Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay when I treated you that way?

Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
Why did you stay?
What did you say?
Why did you stay with me?
