[Intro]
Why does she stay?
Why does she stay?
Why does she stay? Hey...

[Verse 1]
She hates that I don't do dishes
Even though I mess up the most
And she begs me all the time to help her
And I know I should but I'm lazy... so I don't, um yeah
She always considering my feelings
Thinking of me before her self
Most of the time, I'm so damn selfish
I don't even realize she treats me so well

[Pre-Hook]
She's so much better than me
I'm so unworthy of her
Why does she stay? Why does she stay?
Why?

[Verse 2]
She hates that we don't spend much time
We barely see each other at all
She don't even nag me bout' always working
She just says "I just wish every now and then that you would call"
I don't know why she's still here
She could have any man that she wants
Step outside of myself see how much you love
And all the things I should do for her that I just don't
And I realize...

[Hook]
She's so much better than me (so much better)
I'm so unworthy of her (so unworthy of her)
Why does she stay? Why does she stay?
Tell me why?
Why? why? why?
Why? why? why? why?

[Bridge]
(She's in love, she's in love, she's in love)
And I don't understand, that I don't understand no
(She's in love, she's in love, she's in love)
Got to be a better man for her
So I take my time and do what I'm supposed to do
Because I just can't see my life without you, you, you, you, you, you, ohh... yeah
Why does she stay?

[Hook]
She's so much better than me (so much better, so much better...)
I'm so unworthy of her (so unworthy of her)
Why does she stay? Why does she stay?
Tell me why? Why? why? why?
Why? why? why? why? Why?

[Outro]
Why does she stay? Ohh...
Why does she stay? Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Why does she stay? Yeah yeah yeah yeah
