STAY AWAY

You gave me too many chances
Now it´s drivin´ us apart
I keep runnin´ with the boys, girl
But then you knew that from the start
It must keep building up inside you
´Cause you never let it show
I know I´m hanging on the edge now
But I won´t let it go

I never meant to hurt you
But something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance
We can make it this time

Stay away
Stay away from my heart (well, I´m trying my best)
Stay away
Stay away from my heart

If you gave me three wishes
I´d throw two of them away
I´ve seen that look in your eyes, girl
I´d use the last one this way
We´ve been from rags to riches
But your love can´t be bought
I´m just a junkyard dog, girl
Who´s afraid he´s been caught

You´re standing in the shadows
Watching everything that I do
I know the way things must look
They couldn´t be further from the truth

Stay away
Stay away from my heart (I give it all that I have)
Stay away
Stay away from my heart

Remember how it used to be, girl
Makin´ love like it´s the last time
We held each other close
Not knowing what we´d found
You felt the pounding of my thunder
As your rain was pouring down

INSTRUMENTAL

I never meant to hurt you
But something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance
We can make it this time

Stay away
Stay away from my heart (yeah, but I won´t staying with you)
Stay away
Stay away from my heart (I don´t know if I can stay away from you)

Stay away
Stay away from my heart (yeah, I give it all I can do)
Stay away
Stay away from my heart (I wanna stay away from you)

(Yeah, stay away
I give it all I can do
Stay away or you stay, stay away or you stay, stay away or you stay, stay away or you stay
I give it all I can do
Stay away)
