letra de i stayed - john bucchino
[tom]
me!
me again!
it’s always my fault!
it’s always, how have i let you down?
it’s always you the saint and me the sinner
me the miser, you the miser’s wife!
the disappointed one!
put out!
ticked off!
spoiling for a fight!
well, let me tell you, aggie
you’re no fancy bargain!
[aggie]
oh, you got your money’s worth!
[tom]
no
your father got his money’s worth in me!
we always ate!
the rent got paid!
day and night, i worked my ass off
and i stayed!
a thousand times i could have left!
but i stayed
even when you made me feel like dirt, i stayed
however much my pride got hurt, i stayed
one step ahead of the bills and banks
not like i ever got any thanks
but i stayed
no matter how rough things been with us, i stayed
when your sisters both moved in with us, i stayed
when your brother needed money for the store
i coulda showed him to the door
but i loaned him money
then loaned him more
and forgave the debt
a fact you’ve managed to forget
when you give me h-ll for every mistake i made
and as your tally of my faults begins to mound
the one big thing that never, ever seems to count
is that i stayed!
of course i wanna give my kid a wedding!
but i’d be blowin’ twenty years of savings on one night!
it isn’t right!
is that a crime?
why can’t you see my side of things this one time?
i nearly had another piece of the medallion
i nearly made that dream come true
maybe wanting it so much was being selfish
but i wanted it
for you
to show you i could make a go
to prove i didn’t need your father’s dough
i stuck it out when times got tough
to show you i was good enough
to show you i deserved you
and to prove to you…
to prove to you…
ahhh, what’s the use?!
look around you, aggie
everybody’s leaving
in one way or another, they broke free
and the person you’ll be living out your days with
is me
what about me?
i
stayed
you say you’re stuck in a loveless marriage
well… i’m sorry you feel that way
but don’t put words in my mouth
