Lyrics

WHY ASK ME TO STAY
(Nkeng Alemanji)

(Verse 1)
The day I said I was going on my way
You said to me please stay
And though I stayed you kept on telling your lies
and you felt I would not see

How you?ve been playing around so long
You and she still carrying on
You?ve messed around so long
How can you expect me to carry on

(Chorus)
WHEN I SAY I?M GOING ON MY WAY
WHY ASK ME TO STAY
WHEN I SAY I?M GOING ON MY WAY
PLEASE LET IT BE THAT WAY

(Verse 2)
I?ve loved you so right I?ve treated you well but
Still you cheat on me
I want you so much I need you more but
My heart?s afraid of you

How could I?ve loved you o! so long
And you and she still carried on
I?m going on off on my way
There?s nothing more here for me to stay

(Chorus)
WHEN I SAY I?M GOING ON MY WAY
WHY ASK ME TO STAY
WHEN I SAY I?M GOING ON MY WAY
PLEASE LET IT BE THAT WAY

(Bridge)
The constellations aren?t looking so good now
It looks as though we?re done
The preservation of this failing romance
Is out of nature?s hands

(Chorus)
WHEN I SAY I?M GOING ON MY WAY
WHY ASK ME TO STAY
WHEN I SAY I?M GOING ON MY WAY
PLEASE LET IT BE THAT WAY, OH LET IT BE THAT WAY ?
