Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take a toke of smoke from me as you dream inside
Let your day slip away, come with me and ride
My darling, you aren't the average kind
You need the comfort of my loving
To bring out the best in you
I hope that you do
See what you've given to me
Separating, debating
Stay with me, that's all you have to do
[Chorus]
Give yourself a chance
You can't leave me
No way
It ain't that easy
No way
To walk away
Just stay
When I want you to stay, baby
Give yourself a chance
You can't leave me
Okay
It ain't that easy
Ow, ow, ow
Ow, ow-ow-ow-ow, yeah
[Verse 2]
Ever hit with a choice that you can't decide?
A direction, left or right
Shut your mouth off and focus on what you feel inside
See y'all know I'ma go with my vibe
You won't believe all the things you have to sacrifice
Just to get peace of mind
And you take what they give as if it did suffice
Still it's just a waste of time
[PreChorus]
I offer you the truth
You need the comfort of my loving to bring out the best in you
I wanna give you give you something to feed your mind
I wanna give you, feed your mind
Separating, don't debate it
Separating
Faithfully, we'll see this love through
[Chorus]
Give yourself a chance
You can't leave me
No way
It ain't that easy
No way
To walk away
Just stay
When I want you to stay, baby
Give yourself a chance
You can't leave me
Okay
It ain't that easy
Ow, ow, ow
Ow, ow, ow-ow-ow, yeah
[Bridge]
I got just what you need, baby
All this love you'll receive, yeah
I've been waiting so long
Ooh, yeah, huh
[Verse 3]
I tell you this sincerely
I need the comfort of your loving
To bring out the best in me
I'm gonna keep you
I'm gonna keep you
Safe from evil opinion
What I give, can't duplicate it
Faithfully, we'll see this love through
[Chorus]
Give yourself a chance
You can't leave me
No way
It ain't that easy
No way
To walk away
Just stay
When I want you to stay, baby
Give yourself a chance
You can't leave me
Okay
It ain't that easy
Ow, ow, ow
Ow, ow, ow, Lord, yeah
[Chorus]
Give yourself a chance
You can't leave me
No way
It ain't that easy
No way
To walk away
Just stay
When I want you to stay, baby
Give yourself a chance
Oh-oh, ooh
Okay
Said it ain't that easy
Ow, ow, ow
Huh, huh, oh, oh, baby
[Chorus]
Give yourself a chance
You can't leave me
No way
Said ain't that easy
No way
Huh, oh
Just stay
Huh, oh
Give yourself a chance
Okay
Ow, ow
