Curtis Mayfield
I Can’t Stay Away From You - Original
[Intro]
I know you don't love me
And there may be someone else
But as I sit alone here at home
Knowing what I should do
I find I can't stay away from you
[Chorus]
I can't stay away from you
No
No I can't stay away from you
No
Though I know you're no good
And I'd leave if I could
Yet I can't stay away from you
No
[Verse 1]
Old times with you and me
Can't stay away
That's the way now, it ought to be
Can't stay away
You were all I'd ever dream
And now you're so mean
Yet I can't stay away from you
[Bridge]
You've been leaving me
And deceiving me
And have told me lie after lie
The pain is so bad
And I'm going mad
Yet thеre's no tears in my eyеs
Oh no
[Chorus]
Yet I can't stay away from you
No
I can't stay away from you
No
Though I know you're no good
And I'd leave if I could
Yet I can't stay away from you
Can't stay away
Will there ever be an end
Can't stay away
To my forsaken singing?
Can't stay away
You always wondered why do I have tears in my eyes
Can't stay away
And as you asked, you knew
Can't stay away
How to me you had been so untruthful
Can't stay away
