Stay With Me
Eighth Wonder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Try not to think about you
In the pouring rain
I can call your name
I know you won't hear cause you're far away
Try not to miss a heartbeat in the setting sun
I can dream of you
There's no more to do
Try not to think of you
I won't be here forever
You know its now or never

Stay with me
I'm asking on a bended knee
I can't cry for your loving anymore
I wanna come back for more
Stay with me
I'm asking on a bended knee
I can't cry for your loving any more

Ken Tucker are you busy?
Are you on your own?
Or with company
With somebody new
Does she know of me?

Have you found another lover?
Is there someone else lying next to you?
She's older than me
Much better company
I won't be here forever
You know it's now or never

Stay with me
I'm asking on a bended knee
I can't cry for your loving anymore
I wanna come back for more
Stay with me
I'm asking on a bended knee
I can't cry for your loving any more

I know, ohh

Stay with me
I'm asking on a bended knee
I can't cry for your loving anymore
I wanna come back for more and more
Stay with me
I'm asking on a bended knee
I can't cry for your loving any more

Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me




Stay with me
Stay!

So iconic of the eighties.
I've seen them in concert, in Milan.
They did an acoustic version of this really great.
Do anyone know if there is available such version?

Tenía sobre los 23 años. Cuando la vi por la tele. Muy fotogenica y con gran talento para el cine. Una nueva diva de los 80. Le gusta a todo el mundo. Glamour británico...

Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such as the Eighth Wonder and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily.
