Please Stay Home

[Intro]
I was on my way home after a night out of fun
I was just walkin' along smilin' to myself
Thinkin' about the things I had done
When I saw a crowd of people outside of my house
All of a sudden, my heart came into my mouth
A policeman walked up to me and with face cold as ice
He said "Mr. Reid, I got some bad news for you
It's concerning your wife"
Then he handed me the suicide note that she had left
That's when I realized I had only hurt myself
The note read

[Chorus]
You didn't stay home eith me tonight
And I needed your lovin' arms (I need your arms to hold me tight)
Oh honey, to hold me tight
She said "I couldn't go on living this way"
"Being without your sweet love" (Being without your love)
"Oh, both night and day"
Oh baby

[Verse 1]
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
My sweet baby is gone
And I realized that it's all my fault
Because I should've stayed home
She would always say

[Chorus]
Please stay home with me tonight
I need your warm lovin' arm, yes I do
(I need your arms to hold me tight) Oh baby, to hold me tight
She said "I can't go on living this way"
"Being without your sweet love" (Being without your love)
"Oh, both night and day"
That's what she said

[Verse 2]
I'm sittin' here lookin' at her grave
Tears fallin' from eyes
I think about all the thing I should have done
But too late I realized
I keep hearin' the voice sayin'

[Chorus]
Please stay home with me tonight
She said "I need someone's arm, yes I do"
(I need your arms to hold me tight) "To hold me tight"
She said "I can't go on living, living this way"
She said "I, being without your love, honey" (Being without your love)
"Both night and day"

[Verse 3]
Sit here now in a daze
Everywhere I look, I can see her sad little face
I remember all those nights that I should've stayed home
She would always be waitin' there all alone, sayin'

[Chorus]
Please stay home with me tonight
She said "I need your lovin' arm, yes I do"
(I need your arms to hold me tight) "To hold me tight"
She said "I can't, I can't go on living this way"
"Being without your love, honey" (Being without your love)
"Both night and day"

[Outro]
Baby, I'm sorry
Sorry, baby
(I need your arms to hold me tight)
