Stay (Interlude)
Faith Evans · Keep the Faith [1998]
Oh yeah
Why can't you stay
With me for just a while
Cuz if you leave
You'll take a piece of me
Why can't you stay
With me for just a while
Boy, you know you have the key to my heart
Living my life without you
Something I don't wanna do
So please don't walk away
And leave me all alone
Baby, stay for just a while
Why can't you stay with me
For just a while
Cuz if you leave
You'll take a piece of me
Why can't you stay
With me for just a while
Boy, you know you have the key to my heart
