Tim O'Brien - Gonna Try To Make Her Stay lyrics

rate me

(Tim O'Brien, Jimmy Stewart)

Gonna wash the dishes and scrub the floor

All kinds of things I never did before

I thought she wasn’t comin home no more

But she called me up today

She told me how to gather up her stuff

She’s comin over later to pick it up

She borrowed her boyfriend’s pickup truck

But I’m gonna try to make her stay

Chorus:

My baby’s comin back today

I’m gonna try to make her stay

It’s ten o’clock now and I’ve got til four

When she comes walkin through that door

She’ll forget about him, she’ll want me more

I’m gonna try to make her stay

My cash is short and my credit’s low

I guess I’ll go to the goodwill store

To get a new suit of pre-owned clothes

I want to look my best today

Evidently I’m quite a slob

It’s a little late now to get that job

But I’d beg, I’d borrow, maybe even rob

If I could make her come back to stay

Chorus

Bridge:

When she told me she was leavin

I guess I did not quite believe

If she tells me now I’m dreamin

That’s when I’ll get down on my knees and say please

Just give me one more chance

To try to save our sweet romance

I’d even tell her I could learn to dance

I’m gonna try to make her stay

It’s ten o’clock now and I’ve got til four

When she comes walkin through that door

She’ll forget about him, she’ll want me more

I’m gonna try to make her stay
