Ask Me to Stay - Labi Siffre

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

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?

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

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?

It doesn’t matter 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

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?

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

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?
