Lyrics

[Intro]

Don't talk, just listen

First of all

I have to be honest with you, baby

I lied

When I told you I never wanted to see you again

Can you

Please stay, babe, hey, ay

Just for tonight?

And maybe we can do something like

Make love, watch the sunrise

Or listen to JoJo, K-Ci sing us a verse

Slide, close, baby

Ha, that Devante baby

Oh, you feel so sexy and so good

[Verse 1]

I'm sorry I left you, I left you crying

Since you've been gone, I've been all alone

'Cause all of my tears, you know they left me drowning

Please, baby, I'm begging for you to stay at home

[PreChorus]

Tonight, let's start our love again

Start our love again

Tonight, we could be more than just friends

The sun, it is going down

You know what?

So baby, won't you stay for a little while

Baby won't

[Chorus]

Baby, won't you just stay?

Baby, won't you just stay?

For a little while

Baby, won't you just stay?

For a little while

Baby, won't you just stay?

[Verse 2]

Ooh, babe

Baby, won't you just Stay?

[Verse 3]

So here we are

Just me and you, yeah

Thinking of the things that we used to do, babe, haha

Tonight is yours, lady

Yours and mine

Let's try again to put our trust on the line, yeah

[PreChorus]

Tonight, let's start our love again

Why don't we start our love again?

Tonight, we can be more than just friends

You know the sun, baby

The sun is going down

So baby, won't you stay for a little while

Forget about yesterday

Stay

[Chorus]

Baby, won't you just stay?

Oh, oh

Baby, won't you just stay?

For a little while

I'm sorry I left you, baby

Baby, won't you just stay?

Yes, I am, yes, I am

For a little while

I'm sorry I left you crying, baby

Baby, won't you just stay?

Yes, I am, yes, I am

For a little while

I want my baby, yeah, baby

[Verse 4]

Forget about yesterday

'Cause I want you so bad

Make love to me

Like you never have

My love is coming down

Baby, won't you just stay for a little while

[Outro]

Baby, won't you just stay?

For a little while

I'm sorry I've done you so wrong, so wrong

And I really need you to come back home

I'm on my bended knee

I'm begging you, please

No-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no, no-no-no-no-no

Stay

No-no-no-no-no-no-no

Come on back, come on back

Come on back, yeah
