Stay Just a Little Bit Longer
Jessie Hock Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Please)
Please, Please, Please, Please
Tell Me You're going to.
Now, How Your daddy don't mind
And Your mommy don't mind
If We have another dance
One more time.
Oh, Won't You stay
Just a little bit longer
Please let Me hear
You say that You will
Say You will.
Won't You press Your sweet lips
To Mine
Won't You Say You Love Me
All of the time.
Stay, Just a Little Bit Longer
(Please)
Please, Please, Please, Please
Tell Me You're going to.
Come on, Come on,
Come on and ... Yey-yey-yeh
Come on, Come on,
Come on and stay-yey-yey-yeh
Come on, Come on,
Come on and stay, woops!
Come on, come on, Come on...
