Don't Make Me Stay

lyrics

Don’t make me Stay


My wife complains of my addiction
The lost weekend starts on Monday night
And when it’s ventured past resistance
I see this world through different eyes

My drinking she finds it hard to swallow
I ring her up to say I’ll soon be home

Don’t make me stay
Don’t make me stay
Although it’s late
One more but don’t make me stay


Pressures of family and business
One more should take them off my mind
Evening meal burnt my drink is finished
Is that really the time?

One more to drown my sorrows
Another one for the road

Don’t make me stay
Don’t make me stay
Although it’s late
One more but don’t make me stay


These evenings won’t last for ever
To myself I tell these lies
I should be home, I know its better
But when you’re down in desperation you need a cure


Don’t make me stay
Don’t make me stay
Although it’s late
One more but don’t make me stay
