Lyrics
Make Me Stay by Daniel D. Harris
January 2006 copyright 2006
Verse 1
Hey babe, make up your mind
Or pretty soon you'll run out of time
If idleness is the devil's design
Indecision is your biggest crime
Make your mind up
Or you'll wind up
Wishing you had had a life
Verse 2
Don't you want me in your life?
Don't you want me by your side?
Well, I cannot wait another night
I need you to decide
Make your mind up
Or you'll wind up
Wishing you had me in your life
Chorus
So you rely on fate
Without any way to negotiate?
While you're waiting for a sign
I'll be moving on
What would you do to make me stay?
Verse 3
Don't wait for hell to freeze
Must I beg of you on my knees
Before you know the grass will grow
Pigs will fly and the cows will come home
Just like money love doesn't grow on trees
Make your mind up
Or you'll wind up
Wishing you had me in your life
Bridge
I don't deny you
Like you deny me
I won't wait an eternity
I keep tryin'
To remind you
How you said that you once needed me
Chorus
So you rely on fate
Without any way to negotiate?
While you're waiting for a sign
I'll be moving on
What would you do...?
Chorus repeat
So you rely on fate?
Without any way to negotiate?
Well, I'm not waiting for a sign
I'll be moving on
What would you do to make me stay?
I want you to make me stay!
