Let's Stay Together
Eric Benét · Other Songs - Eric Benét
Until I had to walk alone(without
you girl)
I never knew what it was to be a man
Well let me show you baby
'Cause I understand
I never thought it'd hurt so bad
You never know 'til you lose what you
had
I don't need to waste my time runnin'
around all over town
Now I know where to find true lovin'
And I knew the first time that I ever
seen you
CHORUS
Let's stay together girl it would be
so nice
If we just hold on and stay together
Everything will be alright...(we'll
be alright)
Tell me why it feels so strong(tell me
babay, tell me baby)
the years roll by, but s'til this heart
you own
I never felt a love so completely
Don't you know we're riding on destiny
And I knew the first time I ever
seen you
CHORUS
Oooh girl you got me
'Cause when I wake up
You're the first thing on my mind
Tomorrow will be
So let's leave the past behind
just let me lead you
To our happy ever after
And girl when we arrive
Why don't we stay awhile
CHORUS OUT
Let's Stay Together

The song's enduring appeal lies in its melodic structure and Benét's emotive vocal delivery, which captures the essence of romantic commitment and resilience. While the original recording by Stax Records in the 1970s established the song as a timeless anthem, Benét's version pays homage to that legacy while infusing it with the smooth, contemporary textures characteristic of modern soul. His interpretation emphasizes the warmth and intimacy of the lyrics, creating a recording that resonates deeply with audiences seeking authentic musical expression. This track stands as a testament to the song's ability to transcend eras, supported by Benét's consistent presence in the soul and R&B canon.
