Stubborn Lyrics
Keyshia Cole
[Verse 1:]
I lay my head on this pillow
Can't sleep my bed is too cold
Nothing is bruised but my ego
This time the fault is my own.
[Bridge:]
Guess I should've called to say I'm sorry
Guess I should've called to say I care
I risked it all with just one morning
Like before when you were here.
[Chorus:]
Ooooh, Why am I so stubborn when it comes to love
Ooooh, Now look what I've done
If these walls could talk they would say what I want
But I'm just too stubborn when it comes to love. [x5]
[Verse 2:]
If time could fit in a bottle
We don't have much left to waste
Lifes such a tough pill to swallow
Sometimes it's bitter in taste.
[Bridge:]
Guess I should've called to say I'm sorry
Guess I should've called to say I cared
I risked it all with just one morning
Like before when you were here.
[Chorus:]
Oooh, Why am I so stubborn when it comes to love
Oooh, Now look what I've done
If these walls could talk they would say what I want
But I'm just too stubborn when it comes to love.
[Verse 3:]
I told you leave, but I miss you now
It's hard to sleep when you're not around
My heart don't beat, though it makes those sounds
I'm all alone now, pick up the phone now.
[Verse 4:]
Wanna hate you, but I love you
I can't stand you, but then I miss you soo much
I need you
Gotta tell you how I feel before it's too late.
[Chorus:]
Why am I (I) sooo, stubborn when it comes to love
So stubborn when it comes to love oooh
Now look what I've done
If these walls could talk they would say what I want
But I'm just too stubborn when it comes to love
[Outro:]
I lay my head on my pillow
But can't sleep my bed is too cold.
I lay my head on this pillow
Can't sleep my bed is too cold
Nothing is bruised but my ego
This time the fault is my own.
[Bridge:]
Guess I should've called to say I'm sorry
Guess I should've called to say I care
I risked it all with just one morning
Like before when you were here.
[Chorus:]
Ooooh, Why am I so stubborn when it comes to love
Ooooh, Now look what I've done
If these walls could talk they would say what I want
But I'm just too stubborn when it comes to love. [x5]
[Verse 2:]
If time could fit in a bottle
We don't have much left to waste
Lifes such a tough pill to swallow
Sometimes it's bitter in taste.
[Bridge:]
Guess I should've called to say I'm sorry
Guess I should've called to say I cared
I risked it all with just one morning
Like before when you were here.
[Chorus:]
Oooh, Why am I so stubborn when it comes to love
Oooh, Now look what I've done
If these walls could talk they would say what I want
But I'm just too stubborn when it comes to love.
[Verse 3:]
I told you leave, but I miss you now
It's hard to sleep when you're not around
My heart don't beat, though it makes those sounds
I'm all alone now, pick up the phone now.
[Verse 4:]
Wanna hate you, but I love you
I can't stand you, but then I miss you soo much
I need you
Gotta tell you how I feel before it's too late.
[Chorus:]
Why am I (I) sooo, stubborn when it comes to love
So stubborn when it comes to love oooh
Now look what I've done
If these walls could talk they would say what I want
But I'm just too stubborn when it comes to love
[Outro:]
I lay my head on my pillow
But can't sleep my bed is too cold.
