I JUST CAN'T STAY

ALL MY LIFE IVE WAITED FOR AN ANGEL
GOD SENT YOU, AND I WAS SO THANKFUL
EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, WAS EXACTLY AS I PRAYED
AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU DID, I SOME HOW ALWAYS STAYED
IM TRYING TO TELL YOU HOW I FEEL WITH THIS POEM, WITH THESE WORDS
I WANT YOU TO HEAR MY SPIRIT TALK THE WAY YOU’VE NEVER HEARD
HAS IT EVER OCCURRED TO YOU THAT OUR TRIALS MIGHT BE A TEST FROM THE LORD
AND US MEETING EACH OTHER WAS ITS OWN REWARD
WHY DO YOU WANT SO MUCH FROM ME,
TO YOU ITS LITTLE, TO ME IT’S MY LIFE
I PUT THIS ON EVERYTHING THAT I LOVE, I LOVE YOU
BUT IM JUST NOT READY FOR YOU TO BE MY WIFE
MELVETTE ID GIVE YOU THE WORLD, IF THE WORLD COULD FIT IN MY HAND
BUT IT CAN’T, SO I CAN’T; I NEED YOU TO TRY AND UNDERSTAND
THAT WHAT YOU HAVE IN ME IS MAGICAL
NO IM NOT BEING CONCEEDED
I JUST KNOW WHAT GOD HAS DONE IN MY LIFE
AND FOR ME TO LOVE, LOVE IS NEEDED
YOU SAY THAT YOU DO, AND THAT YOU CARE SO MUCH
BUT SOME HOW IT’S SO HARD TO BELIEVE
MY HEART IS UNLOCKED, MY ARMS OPENED WIDE
BUT SOME HOW IT’S SO HARD TO RECEIVE
LOOK AT WHAT WE’VE BEEN THROUGH, THE MILES WE’VE BEEN APART
NO MATTER WHO WAS AROUND, I MADE YOU FIRST, I EVEN GAVE YOU A HEAD START
YOUR SON IS NOT MY BLOOD, BUT I LOVE HIM TO DEATH
IF I HAD TO DIE FOR HIM TO LIVE, I SWEAR ID GIVE MY LAST BREATHE
I REALLY DON’T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND ME, OR HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU AND YOUR SON
WHEN I MET YOU I THOUGHT THAT MY SEACH WAS OVER
LOOKS LIKE IT HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN
WHEN WE MET, YOU HAD NOTHING BUT YOU’RE SPIRIT AND A VISION
IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING, BUT IVE FINALLY MADE MY “DECISION”
IM TRYING TO MOVE FORWARD, AND YOU’RE SITTING STILL
BABY YOU’VE ONLY GOT ONE LIFE
I LOVE YOU AND I WILL, ALWAYS AND FOREVER, BUT IVE GOT TO MOVE ON WITH MY LIFE
