Wanted You to Stay Big Thief

Tell me why it hurts so much
I've been just like a baby crying for your touch
And that's alright, and that's okay
I wanted you to stay

Baby, how'd it get so bad?
Gave you all like you never had
You took my love and went away
I wanted you to stay

Paradise in a pair of shoes
You wore high-heeled reds, I wore high-heeled blues
I'm so confused by the things you say
I wanted you to stay

Springtime comes and the robins fly
Don't know how to live or die
For another night and another day
I wanted you to stay

Tell me how'd it get so bad
Baby, why's it hurt so much?
I've been just like a baby crying for your touch
You took my love and went away
I wanted you to stay
