[Intro]
Stay, stay
Stay, stay
Stay, stay
[Verse 1]
The mere sight of your face brings to me a joy
Unexplainable
Wanna have it this way 'til the dawning breaks
Right outside my front door
[Pre-Chorus]
There's nothing better
There's nothing more true
Than you and I, together in tune
Don't break it down, don't tear it up
Baby, it's all around you
(It's all around you)
So won't you stay a while
[Chorus]
I need you to stay a while
There's no way you can leave me now
(No, why don't you stay)
'Cause I need you to stay a while
Tell me you'll stay a while
Mmm, won't you just stay a while
[Verse 2]
From the very first day
You know that I've been watching
Eyeing your every move
(Eyeing your every move)
With my heart I can say that forever and on
(On and on)
I'll give myself to you (Myself to you)
Oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
There's nothing better (Better)
There's nothing more true than you and I
Than you and I, together in tune
Don't break it down, don't tear it up
'Cause baby, it's all around you
(It's all around you)
So won't you stay a while
[Chorus]
I need you to stay a while (Said I need)
There's no way you can leave me now (No)
'Cause I need you to stay a while (Stay a while, baby)
Tell me you'll stay a while (Oh)
Oh, baby, won't you just stay a while
[Bridge]
I can't see tomorrow without you, oh
'Cause I would never be able to make it through
No, never without you
So why don't you stay
(Stay, won't you stay, won't you stay) Stay
(Stay, won't you stay, won't you stay) A little while, baby
(Stay, won't you stay, won't you stay)
(Won't you stay a while, won't you stay a while)
(Stay, won't you stay, won't you stay) Stay, yeah
(Won't you stay a while, won't you stay a while)
[Chorus]
I need you to stay a while (Ooh-ooh, baby)
There's no way you can leave me now (Said I need you to stay, yeah)
'Cause I need you to stay a while (Tell me)
Tell me you'll stay a while (Oh)
Won't you just stay a while, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Outro]
Won't you stay, won't you stay, stay a while
(Stay, stay, baby)
Baby, stay, baby, stay a while (Stay)
Won't you stay, won't you stay, stay a while
(Stay, yeah)
Baby, stay, baby, stay a while
Tell me you'll stay a while
Hey, hey, oh, say you're gonna stay just for a little while, oh
I need you to stay a while
(Won't you stay, won't you stay, stay a while)
(Baby, I need you to stay)
There's no way you can leave me now
(Won't you stay, won't you stay, stay a while)
(Stay with me, yeah)
'Cause I need you to stay a while (Stay a while, oh)
Tell me you'll stay a while
(Tell me you're gonna stay a while, oh)
Won't you just stay a while
