Why Does She Stay? Lyrics

[Intro]
Why does she stay?
Why does she stay?
Why does she stay? Hey

[Verse 1]
She hates that I don't do dishes
Even though I mess up the most
And she begs me all the time to help her
I know that I should but I'm lazy, so I don't (Mm, yeah)
She's always considering my feelings
Thinking of me before herself
Most of the time, I'm so damn selfish
I don't even realize she treats me so well (Uh)

[Chorus]
She's so much better than me (Mm)
I'm so unworthy of her (Ooh)
Why does she stay? Why does she stay?
Why?

[Verse 2]
She hates that we don't spend much time (Ooh-woah)
We barely see each other at all (Woah-oh)
She don't even nag me bout' always working
She just says, "I just wish every now and then that you'd call" (Ooh-woah)
And I don't know why she's still here (Ooh-woah)
Mm, she could have any man that she wants (Ooh-woah)
Step outside of myself, see how much you love me (Ooh-woah)
And all the things I should do for her that I just don't, just don't
And I realize
[Chorus]
She's so much better than me (So much better)
I'm so unworthy of her (So unworthy of her)
Why does she stay? Why does she stay?
Tell me why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? (Ooh-woah)

[Bridge]
(She's in love, she's in love, she's in love)
And I don't understand, that I don't understand, no
(She's in love, she's in love, she's in love)
Gotta be a better man for her
So I take my time and do what I'm supposed to do (Do what I'm supposed to do)
Because I just can't see my life without you, you, you, you, you, you, oh-woah-oh, yeah
Why does she stay?

[Chorus]
She's so much better than me (So much better, so much better)
I'm so unworthy of her (So unworthy of her)
Why does she stay? Why does she stay?
Tell me why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

[Outro]
Why does she stay? Oh-woah, hm
Why does she stay? Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Why does she stay? Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
