Stay With Me
Sam Smith · In The Lonely Hour (Deluxe Edition) [2014]
But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?
Oh, won't you stay with me 'cause you're all I need?
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
Why am I so emotional?
No, it's not a good look, gain some self-control
And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt
Oh, won't you stay with me 'cause you're all I need?
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
Oh, won't you stay with me 'cause you're all I need?
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
Oh, won't you stay with me 'cause you're all I need?
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me
