The recording received favorable reviews from most contemporary critics who praised the vocal abilities and lyrical content. However, some criticized it as part of the album's content.

This is wrong
I should be gone
Yet here we lay
Cause I can't stay away
Roses bloom
In your dirty room
I Come to play
Cause I can't stay away
No I can't stay away

[Chorus]
I'm conflicted
I inhale now I'm addicted
To this place
To you babe
I can't stay away
Can't stay away
Get up, go down
Then we go and more round
It's wrong, they say
I can't stay a, I can't stay away
I can't stay a, I can't stay away

I was numb
For you I come
Night and day
And I can't stay away
No I can't stay away

[Chorus]

I wish I could
Leave and never return
Baby, I know I should
But for you I'd burn

Stay away
Cause I can't stay away

[Chorus]

I can't stay away
I can't stay away
I can't stay away, I can't stay away
