Stan Rogers
You Can’t Stay Here
You can't stay here
Your company's good, I know
But I must wake up alone
And the party is over
You can't stay here
I'm moments away from sleep
And what you want to say can keep
Til I'm awake and I'm...sober
You can't stay here
When everyone else has gone
I've nothing for you
No song to sing for you only
You can't stay here
Maybe you can't see why
But I'm an old-fashioned guy
And I'd rather be...lonely
Maybe you think I'm unkind when I tell you to go away
I know what you offer, and I could be softer
And tell you to stay
But to me, you're a stranger, to touch you is danger, I know it's true
'Cause what I've got at home is too dear, to risk for an hour with you
You can't stay here
I'll be all right alone
And when I'm safe in her arms at home...
I'll thank you for leaving
You can't stay here
You can't stay here
You can't stay...here
