Ask Me to Stay

There's a secret on the telephone tonight
She calls me baby when she's lonely
And it drives me crazy but I just can't turn her loose
Well, I've grown accustomed to these years of self-abuse

If you ask me to stay
Well, I won't ever go
We can talk all night
There's some things you should know
This could be for all time
And you can still change your mind
But if you ask me to stay
Well, I won't ever go

Oh, it smells like whiskey, and she's drunk again
Well, I'd be surprised if she remembers where she's been
And all this passion, is it love or lust?
We talk in circles but forever's undiscussed

If you ask me to stay
Well, I won't ever go
We can talk all night
There's some things you should know
This could be for all time
And you can still change your mind
But if you ask me to stay
Well, I won't ever go

But you don't know

If you ask me to stay
Well, I won't ever go
We can talk all night
There's some things you should know
This could be for all time
And you can still change your mind
But if you ask me to stay
Well, I won't ever go
