Why don't you stay, why don't you stay Once in a while, once in a while
Why don't you stay, why don't you stay Once in a while, once in a while
I was hurt once before, I can't love nobody Kept my guard up, can't trust nobody
Mind heavy, cause I know you really in it Been a minute since I spoke, how I'm feeling

It's a given that the distance gon' kill us Cold heart, colder nigga
Walls up, didn't wanna let her enter
Love calling, I can't never seem to pick up
Why don't you stay, why don't you stay Once in a while, once in a while
Why don't you stay, why don't you stay Once in a while, once in a while

I've been all on my own lately You was waiting at home then
Back and forth with my dog lately Adios to these hoes, crazy
I've been all on my own lately You with me and I know, baby
Yeah, I don't care what they say I don't pay attention, story tellin' they think

Ahhh
Why don't you stay, why don't you stay Once in a while, once in a while
Why don't you stay, why don't you stay Once in a while, once in a while
I can't love no I, I can't love nobody

Brought up I can't trust nobody Like no I can't love nobody
Hurt before I couldn't love nobody Guard up I couldn't trust nobody
Hurt before I couldn't love nobody Guard up I couldn't trust nobody
Hurt hard I can't trust nobody Why don't you stay

Once in a while, once in a while
