Kelley Lovelace - Only Way She'll Stay lyrics

I sat there and listened to the reasons I was given As to why her bags were sittin' by the door In great detail she told me how she could no longer live here And it just wasn't working anymore She had finally finished and her anger had diminished Well, I took her hand and looked her in the eye And in my desperation, I guess somehow I explained Why it would be a shame to leave all this behind And I talked her outta leavin' me 'Cause right here's where she needs to be And I guess I should feel a need But somehow I don't Through negotiations, she held to one stipulation If I really want to keep her here at home Then the only way she'll stay is if I don't Well, she picked up her bags And as she walked back to the bedroom I just scratched my head and sat there for a while She's actin' like she's doin' me a favor But I don't see how she thinks that this could be a compromise And I'm lookin' for the bright side of this bittersweet conclusion As it's my turn now to pack up all my things And I guess that I accomplished all that I set out to do 'Cause now I don't have to watch her walk away Yeah, I talked her outta leavin' me 'Cause right here's where she needs to be And I guess I should feel relieved but somehow I don't Through negotiations, she held to one stipulation If I really want to keep her here at home Then the only way she'll stay is if I don't Yeah, I talked her outta leavin' me 'Cause right here's where she needs to be Through negotiations, she held to one stipulation The only way she'll stay is if I don't Yeah, I talked her outta leavin' me Right here's where she needs to be
