I should have known
By the way that you say nothing much at all
I could have guessed
By the messages you send, but never call
But most of all
I could have seen it in the colors of your hair
'Cause they don't appear in nature
Except to warn you of the danger, and I know that you don't care
But I want you to stay (stay)
I want you to stay (stay)
I want you to stay (stay
Stay the hell away from me
I could have guessed
If I'd liked you a little less, I probably could have recognized the signs
But I don't mind
When your roommate barges in and lists off every single name but mine
But that's the way it goes, you'll always be the last to know
'Til someone comes and slaps you on the face
But it's okay, 'cause if you're at a loss for words
I know exactly what I'd say
I'd tell you to stay (stay)
I'd tell you to stay (stay)
I'd tell you to stay (stay)
Stay the hell away from me
I want you to stay (stay)
I want you to stay (stay)
I want you to stay (stay)
Stay the hell away from me
And despite all the silence, I heard about it anyway
Was it me or with Mike who stayed for the night?
But only Joe made it through to the day
And that was the summer, that's just life in L.A
You're either screening your calls or begging for someone to stay
So stay (stay)
Why don't you stay? (Stay)
I want you to stay (stay)
Stay the hell away from me
Why can't you stay? (Stay)
I want ya to stay (stay)
I just want you to stay (stay)
Stay the hell away from me
Just stay the hell away from me
Stay the hell away from me
Just stay the hell away from me
Just stay the hell away from me
