It Just Can’t Stay This Way

Edward Jesse Bivins

[Spoken Intro]
Hey
Did I did something wrong?
I know
But every day
When I talk to you
Baby you won't even listen
I go to touch you and you turn away
Everythang, but everything I do is wrong
You're always arguing with me
Accusing me falsely
I just don't know what to do
Baby I just don't know what to do
Or say anymore

[Verse 1]
Girl what's wrong with you (What's wrong with you)
Tell me, tell me, what did I do
Why do you treat me
Why do you treat me this way?
Constantly, constantly day by day
You don't want me no more
Baby just tell me to go

[Chorus]
'Cause it just can't stay
Oooh this way, no no no

[Verse 2]
Girl
If you found another man
Tell me (Won't you tell me)
Tell me woman and I'll try to understand
If you're saying
If you're saying that this is the end
I know, I know
I'll still be your friend
So if you're getting tired of me
It will hurt but I'll leave you

[Chorus]
'Cause it just can't stay
Mmmm this way

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Girl, stop lying to me (Lying to me)
Tell me, tell me the truth
And I'll set you free
It'll hurt me
Wooh, yeah
It'll hurt me to my heart
But I'm gonna make
You know I'm gonna make a brand new start
Just tell me to go
And I'll won't come back no more

[Chorus]
'Cause it just can't stay
Oooh this way, no no no
(Why must it be this way)
What's wrong with you
