Please Stay

Lyrics

You know, it's real funny how strange and difficult life is How confusing it can really, really be It's easy to say "I love you", and yet, so hard to say "I'm sorry" Oh I know, I played the role: Strong, silent type, a man ain't supposed to cry But now, I'm trying to straighten out my life Baby, you - you're the reason why Nothing in this life is guaranteed I guess that's something most of us fail to see I didn't realize, the pressure and strife that I've been going through Would drive you away from me Why is it so difficult to say what we feel? Silence is not always golden We once played in the Garden of Love Are the gates closed, or are they open? I've never been too much for words I guess, maybe nature planned it that way But to love, is to communicate Can now be ever so late? (Ooh...) So I'm asking you, I'm begging you: Before you walk away, if there's a place left in your heart for me Baby don't go, baby, don't go (Don't you go) I love you, baby Please stay Baby (oh my baby) Baby (ooh), please stay Won't you stay with me, won't you stay with me? My baby Baby (ooh), baby (only you) Please stay Oh baby, won't you just stay right here with me? Please stay [sax solo] Baby, baby Please stay Baby, baby Please stay Baby, baby Please stay Baby, baby Please stay Mhm-hm-hm-hm-mm Ooh, ooh... You say you never had a chance to be "out there" To explore your own individuality A chance to really, really be free First your folks at home, your friends at school People on your job, and now me Well, go on! Be yourself, be all you can be The world is yours to explore But when love and wisdom drink of the same cup Togetherness will open any door Stay with me, baby Baby, baby (whoa-ah my baby) Please stay (baby, don't you ever, don't you ever) Baby (my baby), baby (because I want you here woman, so) Please stay (so that you can never just leave) Baby (oh baby), baby (please baby, please baby) Please stay (won't you stay with me forever?) Baby (oh), baby (I love only you) Please stay (please stay, please stay) Pleeeeaseeee, ohh, baby, ohh Stay with me, don't leave Though you have every reason in the world to go Lady, I'm not asking you for another chance Please stay, and let our love grow I'm asking you, I'm begging you: Before you walk away, if there's a place left in your heart for me Don't go, please, don't go Stay with me Baby, please stay
