Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, won't you stay?
Stay a while with your own ones
Don't ever stray
Stray so far from your own ones
[Verse 2]
'Cause the world is so cold
Don't care nothin' for your soul
You share
With your own ones
[Verse 3]
Don't rush away
Rush away from your own ones
One more day
One more day with your own ones
[Verse 4]
As the world is so cold
Don't care nothin' for your soul
You share
With your own ones
[Verse 5]
There's a stranger
And he's standin' by your door
Might be your best friend, might be your brother
You may never know
[Verse 6]
I'm goin' back
Goin' back to my own ones
Back to talk
Talk a while with my own ones
[Verse 7]
'Cause the world is so cold
Don't care nothin' for your soul
You share
With your own ones
[Verse 8]
There's a stranger
And he's standin', standin' by your door
Might be your best friend, might be your brother
You may never know
[Verse 9]
I'm goin' back
Goin' back to my own ones
Back to talk
Talk a while with my own ones
[Verse 10]
'Cause the world is so cold
Don't care nothin' for your soul
You share
With your own ones
[Verse 11]
With your own ones
With your own ones
With your own ones
With your own ones
