Stay The Night
Mariah Carey · 3 Cd Collector's Set [2009]
To keep you warm and lay with you tonight
Baby, I feel the same way I don't want to leave
Wanna hold you close and feel your love inside
But I don't wanna play myself
'Cause I know you're with someone else
And I don't need complications in my life
And I don't wanna fall back in
And get caught up in you again
Boy, I'm so conflicted in my mind
[chorus]
You keep saying stay the night
Just let me rock you 'til the morning light
It's cold outside and much too late to drive
You know I need you, baby
I'm so lost without your love
Obviously, procrastinating just to be
Close to you a little longer now
It's hard for me to break away from you, baby
Never could resist you and I still haven't learned how
And I don't want to be a fool
But it's hard when it comes to you
And I'm feeling vulnerable tonight
'Cause I don't want to miss the chance
Of reliving our sweet romance
Boy, I'm so confused down deep inside
[chorus]
You keep saying stay the night
Just let me rock you 'till the morning light
It's cold outside and much too late to drive
You know I need you, baby
I'm so lost without your love
Da da da do do do...
(Baby stay, baby stay, baby stay)
Oh oh... wow
Do do do do...
(Baby stay, baby stay, baby stay)
[chorus]
Oh! You keep saying stay the night
Just let me rock you 'till the morning light
It's cold outside and much too late to drive
You know I need you, baby
I'm so lost without your love
(Baby stay, baby stay, baby stay)
(Stay the night)
Oh! yeah, yeah! Oh!
(Saty the night)
You keep on saying
(Saty the night)
And you keep on saying, baby
(Saty the night)
And you keep on, keep on, keep on saying!
(I'm so lost without you love)
And you keep on saying!
(Saty the night)
Baby, baby, baby, baby oh!
And you keep on, keep on, keep on saying!
(Saty the night)
Baby...
And you keep on saying stay!
(Saty the night)
