Ask Me To Stay – Labi Siffre

I’m not supposed to write you letters
And not one letter have I writtern
I mustn’t call you on the phone
And on the phone I’ve left you strictly alone

Look here I am I’m knocking on your door
You keep turning me away
Well I don’t mind I keep coming back for more
Won’t you ask me to stay, ask me to stay?

It’s hard when love becomes a daily fight
Still I can’t believe this is the end
When I’m alone and lonely in the night
It’s just no good to pretend

So here I am I’m knocking on your door
You keep turning me away
Well I don’t mind I keep coming back for more
Won’t you ask me to stay, ask me to stay?

It doesn’t matter who was right or who was wrong
I’ll take the blame I just don’t care
But on my own I just can’t get along
Since you’ve been gone I think I’m losing my hair

So here I am I’m knocking on your door
You keep turning me away
Well I don’t mind I keep coming back for more
Won’t you ask me to stay, ask me to stay?

Perhaps it’s wrong for me to bother you this way
Maybe you’ve really gone for good
But I can’t help the way I love you more each day
I wish you’d come home I really wish you would

Huh, here I am I’m knocking on your door
You keep turning me away
Well I don’t mind I keep coming back for more
Won’t you ask me to stay, ask me to stay?
Here I am I’m knocking on your door
You keep turning me away
Well I don’t mind I keep coming back for more
Won’t you ask me to stay, ask me to stay?
Here I am I’m knocking on your door
You keep turning me away
Well I don’t mind I keep coming back for more
Won’t you ask me to stay, ask me to stay?
