Stay Awhile

Album: What's Love Got To Do With It (93)



So who are you gonna turn to when the light is fading

Who are you gonna run to when the rain sets in

Who do you come to when the blues comes calling

Who are you trying to fool coming around here again

Yes, I heard you found a new plaything

Right now it seems you need a friend

Why don't you stay a while

Just till the night is through

Tell me you¡¯re lonely, baby, I'm lonely, too

So stay awhile

I'll stay ahile

All I ever wanted was a shoulder to lean on

And all you ever wanted was a dream that would last

Promises made in the heat of the moment

I know I never told you that was too much to ask

But it won¡¯t take much gentle persuasion

To make you remember, make me forget

You may not be a knight in white satin

Maybe the best was all in the past

Turn the lights low, lay down beside me

Just till the dawn, I don¡¯t want you to go

Tell me you want me

Baby, I need you too

Stay awhile
