Stay a Little While, Child

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jane Eugene] Put your loving arms around me, boy And hold me like I was a cuddly toy Let me feel that warmth of your embrace Don't let go It's just a waste of time, so why pretend When I think you know we're more than friends Must we let our future roll on ice? Why shake the dice? Ooh, why don't you... [Chorus] Stay a little while, child (Stay) Stay a little while, child (Mmm, why don't you...) Stay a little while, child (Stay) Stay a little while, child (Mmm, why don't you...) [Verse 2: Carl McIntosh & Jane Eugene] If I just want to stay friends Will that bring us closer to the end? And do we need to escalate the situation Or should I let it go? No, I don't wanna let it go And there could be no sadder sight to see Than if we were to miss this opportunity So send me up a signal and I'll catch the line If there's no time, you know it's up to you So why don't you [Chorus] Stay a little while, child (Hey, you know I got to go) Stay a little while, child (Ooh, you know it's up to you) Stay a little while, child (Stay) Stay a little while, child (Ooh yeah...) [Bridge: Jane Eugene & Carl McIntosh] There's no need to act surprised 'Cause there's no room for selfless pride So let's push love to the limit, and life to the edge I've only one request of you Stay a while... [Chorus] Stay a little while, child (Stay) Stay a little while, child (Ain't no doubt, then ain't no crime) Stay a little while, child (You'll find no better love than mine) Stay a little while, child (Never gonna stay a while, I'm never gonna be a child, oh) Stay a little while, child (Never gonna stay a while, I'm never gonna be a child, oh) Stay a little while, child (Stay) Stay a little while, child...
