Why Did She Stay With Him - Dave Alvin

Why did she stay with him

Is there something I missed

Was it ‘cause she was scared

Or was it how he kissed

So why did she run to me

When he made her cry

What was I supposed to say

To change her mind

When every time she’d go back again

Oh why did she stay with him

Why did she stay with him

What didn’t I see

Was I so wrong to think

She could ever leave him for me

Is that the way love is

Is it cruel and unfair

Did it make my two eye’s see something

That isn’t there

And could it make her just give in

Oh why did she stay with him

Why did she stay

Did I do something wrong

Did I come off too weak

Or did I come on too strong

Well I guess I lose

I guess he wins

Oh why did she stay with him

Why did she stay

How long until I forget

When I held her in my arms

And all the things that she said

Will she think of me when she feels his skin

Oh why did she stay with him

Oh why did she stay with him

Oh why did she stay with him
