If I Had My Way

Millie, I've been checking you all night

You know you've made several trips to the door

But you always find an excuse to come back

You really don't want to go

And I think I know why

I know you've been in love and been let down

You think the same thing happens, every time around

But I can turn it on and make it pay, oh, if I had my way

You're so afraid 'cause the hurt within you cries

That love is just another word for pain and lies

But I can reach right out and just hold you, oh, if I had my way

If you let me have my way, then I could show you

So just stay (Stay), stay here with me tonight

And feel what the feeling's like

Love (Love), over and over again

Let me take you where you've never been

As I'm holding you, I can see it in your eyes

Girl, you've never had your secret satisfied

But it could be the way that I told you

Just let me have my way

If you let me have my way, then I could show you

So come on and stay (Stay), stay here with me tonight

And just feel what the feeling's like

We'll make love (Love), over and over, over again

Let me take you where you've never been

So baby, won't you stay (Stay)

Let me, let me, let me love you

Come on and stay (Stay)

Don't leave, just can't leave

You've gotta stay (Stay)

If you stay, we can lay 'til the break of day

So (Won't you stay?)

'Cause I've been watching you and I know what's on your mind (Stay)

I'm not trying to take advantage of you

I'm here for you to take advantage of me

So facts change, ain't no robbery (Won't you stay?)

You've got what I need

And I think I got what you need, so (Stay)

We've got to get together

If we don't, when the sun comes up tomorrow

We might both regret it (Won't you stay?)

So don't try to play so hard, everybody got a weakness

I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours (Stay)

And mine is my head
