[Verse 1]
You gave me too many chances, now it's drivin' us apart
I keep on runnin' with the boys, girl, but then you knew that from the start
It must keep building up inside you, cause you never let it show
I know I'm hanging on the edge now, but I won't let go

[Pre-Chorus]
I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time

[Chorus]
Stay away, stay away from my heart - but I'm trying my best
Stay away, stay away from my heart

[Verse 2]
If you gave me three wishes, I'd throw two of them away
I've seen that look in your eye girl, I'd use the last one this way
We've been from rags to riches, but your love can't be bought
I'm just a junkyard dog, girl, who's afraid of being caught

[Pre-Chorus]
You're standing in the shadows, watching everything that I do
And I know the way things must look, it couldn't be further from the truth

[Chorus]
Stay away, stay away from my heart - I'm doing all that I can
Stay away, stay away from my heart

[Bridge]
Remember how it used to be girl, makin' love like it's the last time
We held each other close, not knowing what we'd found
You felt the pounding of my thunder, as your rain was pouring down

[Pre-Chorus]
I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time

[Chorus]
Stay away, stay away from my heart
Yeah, but I wanna stay here with you
Stay away, stay away from my heart
But I wanna stay away from you
Stay away, stay away from my heart
Yeah, I'm doing all I can do
Stay away, stay away from my heart
But I wanna stay away from you

Stay away
All I can do
Stay away, wanna stay (4x)
I'm doing all I can do
Stay away
