Lyrics
I do the same thing I told you that I never would
I am repeating the same actions I promised not to do
I told you I'd change, even when I knew I never could
I assured you of change, even though I was aware change was unlikely
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
I acknowledge that I cannot find anyone else as good as you
I need you to stay, need you to stay
I want you to remain with me, emphasizing the need for your presence
I get drunk, wake up, I'm wasted still
After getting intoxicated, I wake up still in a wasted state
I realize the time that I wasted here
I realize the time I've wasted in this situation
I feel like you can't feel the way I feel
I feel that you may not understand or share the emotions I experience
Oh, I'll be messed if you can't be right here
Expressing concern that I'll be in a troubled state if you're not present
Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
Repetitive vocalization emphasizing emotional intensity
Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
Repetition for emphasis on emotional intensity
Oh-oh-oh-whoa (oh-oh-whoa, oh-oh-whoa)
Continued emphasis on intense emotions and a plea for presence
Oh, I'll be messed up if you can't be right here
Concern that I'll be emotionally disturbed if you're not by my side
I do the same thing I told you that I never would
Reiterating the repetition of undesirable actions mentioned earlier
I told you I'd change, even when I knew I never could
Reaffirming the promise of change, despite knowing it's improbable
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
Recognizing the uniqueness of your qualities, emphasizing their value
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
Reiterating the strong desire for you to stay with me
I do the same thing I told you that I never would
Repeating the acknowledgment of engaging in previously avoided actions
I told you I'd change even when I knew I never could
Reaffirming the commitment to change, even though change seems unlikely
Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
Acknowledging the difficulty in finding someone as good as you
I need you to stay, need you to stay, hey
Expressing the continued need for your presence in a plea
