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
Mm-mm, 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?
Stay a little while, child (stay)
Stay a little while, child (mm, why don't you?)
Stay a little while, child (stay)
Stay a little while, child (mm, why don't you? Ooh, ooh, yeah)
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 (ooh, on my own)
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?
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 (ooh, stay)
Stay a little while, child (ooh, yeah)
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 have only one request of you
Stay a while, ooh
Come on, ooh
Don't lay down, don't-don't, don't lay (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't lay down, don't-don't, don't lay (oh, oh)
Don't lay down, don't-don't, don't lay
Don't lay down, don't-don't, don't lay
Don't lay down, don't-don't, don't lay
Don't-don't-don't, don't lay (ooh, mm)
Don't lay down, don't-don't, don't lay
Don't-don't-don't, don't lay (ooh)
(Why don't you) 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)
