(Stay) Ah, just a little bit longer (Stay)
(Please) Please, please, please
Tell me you're going to

Now your daddy don't mind
And your mommy don't mind
If we have another dance, yeah
Just one more (One more time)

Oh, won't you stay

And say you will (Say you will)

Won't you place your sweet lips to mine?
Won't you say you love me all of the time?

Come on, come on, come on, stay, yeah
