Stay Here Tonight
Enrique Iglesias Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know it's late and you're tired
And we'd been talking for hours here
You don't have to tell me

I see that look in your eyes
And I know soon we'll say our goodbyes, oh yeah
I feel it coming
And I hear you take a deep breath
And my hands are starting to sweat
I don't want you to
I don't want you to leave, yeah

Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
'Cause when you're around me, everything's right, don't go
Oh, don't leave me alone
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
I wanna hold you in my arms, show you what that's like, don't go
I need you, I need you

You grab your coat and I'm dying
But I know that you're still deciding, yeah
'Cause nobody's moving
Time stops and everything's quiet
I'm hanging on for my life and you
You don't even see it

And then you come in closer
And baby it's not over
Till I hear you say, till I hear you say
Goodnight, oh yeah

Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
'Cause when you're around me, everything's right, don't go
Oh, don't leave me alone
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
I wanna hold you in my arms, show you what that's like, don't go
I need you, I need you

Something about you saves me
Something about you makes me feel like I'm alive

Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
'Cause when you're around me, everything's right, don't go
Don't leave me alone

Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
'Cause when you're around me, everything's right, don't go
Oh, don't leave me alone
Stay here tonight, stay here tonight
I wanna hold you in my arms show you what that's like, don't go
I need you, I need you





Stay with me tonight, I need you, stay with me tonight, I need you
Stay
