Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Another morning, you are on my mind
Taking up my time throughout the day
I try controlling images I see
Always you with me, it's in my dreams
[Verse 2]
You give me fever, love I can't explain
Fire un-contained, what is this, girl?
I try to fight, but I never win
Seems I just give in to your embrace
[Chorus]
But, oh, you try so hard not to see
Oh, all the things you do to me
And, girl, oh
Oh, my love can't be concealed
Girl, you know the deal
Baby, stay with me tonight
[Verse 3]
At my apartment, you've come to the door
Quarter after 4 a.m., hello
We start to kissing, ooh, we start to neck
You know what comes next and you love it, girl
[Chorus]
But, oh, what we have, it feels so good
Oh, and we both knew that it would
And, girl, oh
Oh, the feeling is so right
Please come hold me tight
Baby, stay with me tonight
[Chorus]
'Cause you give me special joy
Oh, make me feel just like a schoolboy
Girl, oh
Give me feelings of delight
Please turn out the light
Baby, stay with me tonight
[Bridge]
'Cause I love ya
You know I really do love you, girl
It's been my innermost fantasy
To share and care, and to give my love to you through the night
[Verse 4]
You call me crazy, maybe that is true
But what can I do? I love you, girl
You got me movin', movin' left and right
Deep within the night, come here, my dear
[Verse 5]
You give me fever, love I can't explain
Fire un-contained, what is this, girl?
I try to fight it, but I never win
Seems I just give in to your embrace
But, oh, oh, I pray you never leave
Oh, 'cause my heart would surely grieve
So, girl, oh
And you know I would not lie
Girl, you are my pride
Baby, stay with me tonight
[Chorus]
'Cause you give me special joy
Oh, make me feel just like a schoolboy
Girl, oh
Oh, the feeling is so right
Please come hold me tight
Baby, stay with me tonight
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, babe
Need you by my side, baby
Oh, baby, stay with me tonight
Oh, oh, whoa
Baby, stay with me tonight
Oh, whoa, babe
Ah, whoa
Baby, baby, baby, yeah
I wanna run my fingers through your hair
Whisper sweet things in your ear
Oh, babe
Stay with me tonight
Hey, yeah, hey
Hey, hey, hey, babe
