Lyrics
STAY OR SAY GOOD BYE
By Dal Sanders & Lou Simmons
1.We've been trying to put together the pieces
We've been trying to build our life.
And I know that it hasn't been easy
And my choices aren't always right.
One minute you tell me that you're leaving.
The next time you promise to stay.
I can't take all this deceiving.
I just can't keep living this way.
CHORUS
(So I say) Baby, I've got to know why
You keep talking about it
Don't make me cry.
(Oh I said) Baby, either stay or say good bye.
2.I've been trying to melt the ice
That's running through your veins.
I hope I never meet the guys
That caused you so much pain.
You're afraid I'm going to break your heart
If you ever decide to stay
Every time we get a good start--
You always seem to back away.
CHORUS
(So I say) Baby, I've got to know why
You keep talking about it
Don't make me cry.
(Oh I said) Baby, either stay or say good bye.
BRIDGE
Sometimes when I look in your eyes?
Oh, That's when I realize.
Tonight's the night things can be set right
There's hope if we give it a try.
3.I fixed you dinner and it's on the table.
I've even got candles and wine.
Tonight there's going to be no trouble.
Tonight I'm going to make you mine
I try to tell you I love you
In your arms I feel whole.
And then suddenly out of the blue
Baby you start acting cold.
CHORUS
(So I say) Baby, I've got to know why
You keep talking about it
Don't make me cry.
(Oh I said) Baby, either stay or say good bye.
