[Chorus]
Baby, please stay
Don't go away, baby
Don't go away, please stay (Please stay)
Stay, please stay, baby
Don't go away, don't go away
Don't go away
[Verse 1]
I'm asking you, darling
Please stay, please stay, please
Don't go away, baby, ooh
Please stay baby, please
Don't go away, no
I couldn't stand it, darling, ooh
I won't be able to sleep peacefully
In bed without you beside me darling, darling anymore
No sugar, no, I won't be warm and secure
Oh baby, baby, baby, like I was before
Oh, baby
I'll just lie tossing and turning, baby, baby, baby (Tossing and turning, tossing and turning)
All night long, ooh-ooh
Scared that if I close my eyes
When I got ready to wake up, I might find you gone
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
Baby, please stay
Don't go away, baby
Don't go away, please stay
Please stay 'cause I could never find nobody (Stay, stay, stay)
Make me feel this way (Don't go away), nah, sugar (She'll stay), ooh
[Verse 2]
For I never felt this way before (Baby, oh, oh)
No, no sugar, you did it
Oh, I never felt so good, honey, before (Baby, oh, oh)
Talk my head in, my, oh, I never felt so good, oh, before (Baby, oh, oh)
Oh, sugar, cause you dig it, you got it
Oh, I never felt so good before (Baby, oh, oh)
Oh, I love you, I just love you
[Outro]
Oh, yeah, I never felt so good (Ooh) before (Baby, oh, oh)
Oh, I love ya, don't you know
Oh, I never felt so good (Ooh) before (Baby, oh, oh)
I could never come, come this way before, baby, oh, oh (Oh)
I could never come, come this way before, baby, oh, oh (Oh)
