Labi Siffre — Ask Me to Stay

[Verse 1] I'm not supposed to write you letters And not one letter have I writtern I mustn't call you on the phone And on the phone I've left you strictly alone [Chorus] Look here I am I'm knocking on your door You keep turning me away Well I don't mind I keep coming back for more Won't you ask me to stay, ask me to stay? [Verse 2] It's hard when love becomes a daily fight Still I can't believe this is the end When I'm alone and lonely in the night It's just no good to pretend [Chorus] So here I am I'm knocking on your door You keep turning me away Well I don't mind I keep coming back for morе Won't you ask me to stay, ask me to stay? [Verse 3] It doesn't mattеr who was right or who was wrong I'll take the blame I just don't care But on my own I just can't get along Since you've been gone I think I'm losing my hair [Chorus] So here I am I'm knocking on your door You keep turning me away Well I don't mind I keep coming back for more Won't you ask me to stay, ask me to stay? [Verse 4] Perhaps it's wrong for me to bother you this way Maybe you've really gone for good But I can't help the way I love you more each day I wish you'd come home I really wish you would [Chorus] Huh, here I am I'm knocking on your door You keep turning me away Well I don't mind I keep coming back for more Won't you ask me to stay, ask me to stay? Here I am I'm knocking on your door You keep turning me away Well I don't mind I keep coming back for more Won't you ask me to stay, ask me to stay? Here I am I'm knocking on your door You keep turning me away Well I don't mind I keep coming back for more Won't you ask me to stay, ask me to stay?
