Lyrics

Oh-oh (oh-oh-oh)
I know that you have business, dear
But tonight, I need you here
Forget what you have to do, I need you
Let the phone just ring and ring
It really doesn't mean a thing
Tonight, you only need to be here with me (ooh)
So I'm begging
(Darling, please don't leave), whoa-oh
(Stay and meet my needs) meet my need
(Darling, please don't leave me) stay with me tonight
(Darling, please don't leave), don't leave
(Stay and meet my needs) meet my need
(Darling, please don't leave me) stay with me tonight (stay with me tonight)
Please stay (stay with me tonight, ah)
Don't want to be a selfish girl
But tonight, you are my world
I will never make it through without you
Look at the fires
Warming as the chilled winds blow
Don't make business make me weep (ooh)
It will keep
So I'm begging
(Darling, please don't leave), don't leave
(Stay and meet my needs) meet my need
(Darling, please don't leave me) oh, stay with me tonight
(Darling, please don't leave) please
(Stay and meet my needs) meet my need
(Darling, please don't leave me), oh, oh, oh
Stay with me tonight (stay with me tonight)
Please stay (stay with me tonight, ah)
I'll bring you your tan house shoes
Let soft music set the mood, hm-mm
Cuddle up next to you like I do
If they ask what kept you here
Smile and say, "my sweet dear"
I found she had a special need (ooh)
She needed me
She was begging
(Darling, please don't leave) she said, "no, no, no, no, don't go"
(Stay and meet my needs) meet my need
(Darling, please don't leave me) oh, just stay with me, lay with me, hold me in your arms
(Darling, please don't leave, stay and meet my needs), ooh
(Darling, please don't leave me), don't leave me, stay with me tonight (stay tonight)
Please stay (stay with me tonight)
(Stay tonight) please stay (stay with me tonight, ah)
