I been sitting here staring
At the clock on the wall
And I been laying here praying
Praying she won't call
It's just another call from home
And you'll get it and be gone
And I'll be crying
And I'll be begging you, baby
Beg you not to leave
But I'll be left here waiting
With my heart on my sleeve
Oh, for the next time we'll be here
Seems like a million years
And I think I'm dying
What do I have to do to make you see
She can't love you like me
Why don't you stay
I'm down on my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely
Don't I give you what you need
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We don't have to live this way
Baby, why don't you stay (yeah)
You keep telling me, baby
There will come a time
When you will leave her arms
And forever be in mine
But I don't think that's the truth
And I don't like being used
And I'm tired 'a waiting
It's too much pain to have to bear
To love a man you have to share
Why don't you stay
I'm down on my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely
Don't I give you what you need
When she calls you to go
There is one thing you should know
We don't have to live this way
Baby, why don't you stay (yeah)
I can't take it any longer
But my will is getting stronger
And I think I know just what I have to do
I can't waste another minute
After all that I put in it
I've given you my best
Why does she get the best of you
So next time you'll find
You wanna leave her bed for mine
Why don't you stay
I'm up off my knees
I'm so tired of being lonely
You can't give me what I need
When she begs you not to go
There is one thing you should know
I don't have to live this way
Baby, why don't you stay, yeah
Oh
Sugarland乐队最初由三位来自亚特兰大的歌手和创作人组成，而三人在组建Sugarland之前在当地都已经是小有名气的歌手。前Soul Miner's Daughter乐队主唱Jennifer Nettles凭借高亢的嗓音当之无愧的成为了Sugarland的主唱，而Kristen Hall在著名厂牌Windham Hill Records旗下曾发行过两张个人专辑，另一位成员 Kristian Bush也曾作为二人民谣组合Billy Pilgrim的成员发行过两张专辑。
2002年，三人开始正式在一起合作。同年，Sugarland自己发行了一张名叫《Premium Quality Tunes》Demo唱片。接下来，Sugarland在美国各地参加了多场演出，逐渐得到了广大歌迷的肯定。随后，Sugarland得到了Mercury Records的一纸合约，并在2004年初发行了一张两首歌(《Baby Girl》和《Stand Back Up》)的单曲碟。同年10月，Sugarland发行了由加斯·方迪斯(Garth Fundis)制作的首张正式专辑《Twice the Speed of Life》。随后，Sugarland的创始人之一，主要创作人Kristen Hall离开了乐队。2006年11月，Sugarland在Mercury Nashville公司的第二张专辑《Enjoy The Ride》出炉 |
