Bernadette Peters & William Parry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Some people like walkin in the rain
Some people like to get way on a plane
Some people like to party every night,
But all I want to do

Is baby stay home with you
Some poeple like chillin at the beach
Some people they don't practice what They preach
Some people like crusin in there cars

But all I want to do is baby stay home With you
All I really want to do
On days I'm with out you (without you)
You still linger on my mind

There is no substitution
You are where I want to spend my time
Baby

Some people like workin day n night
Some people they are lookin for a fight
Some people they just dream there life Away
But baby all I want to do is baby stay Home with you

All I really want to do
On days I'm without you (without you)
You still linger on my mind
There is no subsitution (no)

You are where I want to spend my time
Some people they like workin day n night
Some people are lookin for a fight
Some poeple they like to dream there Life away





But all I want to do
Is baby stay home with you
