Story behind the song
A songwriter told me that I couldn't use "shoulda" in a song lyric! OK, that's all I hadda hear! LOL
Lyrics
Stay Away From Me
c. 1987 Steve Waddington
I never felt like a lamb with a lion before
Something in her eyes kept calling me back for more
I shoulda realized from the very start
That she was after more than just my heart
I shoulda seen some signs along the way
But I didn't know what kind of games she'd play
I never had one single clue
Of what that little girl would put me through
I shoulda said "no way"
I shoulda said "stay away"
But a curious mind always seems to get the better of me
I shoulda said "no way"
I should have said "stay away from me"
I shoulda seen right through that cheap disguise
She had an innocent smile but her mouth was full of lies
Who'd have thought she'd be the kind
to take my heart and leave the rest behind
I shoulda said "no way"
I shoulda said "stay away"
But a curious mind always seems to get the better of me
I shoulda said "no way"
I shoulda said "stay away from me"
I shouldn't have looked in those eyes
Shouldn't have longed for that touch
I never knew that playing a little could hurt so much
And it hurts so much...
I shoulda said "no way"
I shoulda said "stay away"
But a curious mind always seems to get the better of me
I shoulda said "no way"
I shoulda said "stay away from me"
Stay away from me...stay away from me...
