Released 21 July 1991. The first single of Toni's second album House Of Hope. Music video directed by Toni Childs. Song written by David Ricketts and Toni Childs. Lyrics This man I married is buried deep And the more I try to wake him, the more he sleeps I used to think I knew this man The tenderness, not the back of his hand It's been two weeks since he last had a drink But the time bomb's ticking, I can never sleep It would be easier if he did Why do I stay here, stay with him? Why do you do it? Why do you treat us bad? When you've got two kids who love you And a wife that's missing you bad I've got to go now I've got to say goodbye Don't try to stop us now And please, don't you cry Related 27 Best Ever Songs From Movie Soundtracks From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To “Last Christmas“ Can't you see?
