Jodeci Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just listen
First of all
I have to be honest with you baby
I lied
When I told you I never wanted to see you again
Can you please stay
Just for tonight
Like make love
Watch the sunrise
Or listen to jojo, k-ci, sing us a verse
Slide closer baby
Ha, that devante baby
Oh you feel so sexy, so good
Sorry I left you
Left you cryin
But since you've been gone
I've been all alone
Cause all of my tears
You know they left me drownin
Please baby I'm beggin
For you to stay at home
Tonight
Let's start our love again
Tonight
We can be more than just friends
Don't you know
The sun
Is going down
So baby won't you just stay
Baby won't you just stay
For a little while
Baby won't you just stay
For a little while
Baby won't you just stay
Baby won't you just stay
So here we are
Just me and you
We're thinkin of the things
That we used to do babe
Tonight is yours, lady
Yours and mine
Let's try again to put our trust on the line, yeah
Tonight
Let's start our love again
Tonight
We can more than just friends
Don't you know
The sun
Is going down
So baby won't you just stay
For a little while
Baby won't you just stay
Baby won't you just stay
For a little while
Baby won't you just stay
For a little while
Baby won't you just stay
Forget about yesterday
Cause I want you so bad
Make love to me like you never had
My love
Is coming down
So baby won't you just stay
For a little while
Baby won't you just stay
For a little while

Don't talk
Stop talking and listen to what I have to say
Just listen
Pay attention and hear me out
First of all
I need to start by being honest
I have to be honest with you baby
I need to tell you the truth
I lied
I wasn't truthful with you
When I told you I never wanted to see you again
I didn't mean it when I said I didn't want to see you anymore
Can you please stay
I'm asking you to stay with me
Just for tonight
Only for this evening
And maybe we can do something
Perhaps we can engage in an activity together
Like make love
Have sex
Watch the sunrise
View the sunrise together
Or listen to jojo, k-ci, sing us a verse
Listen to the music of JoJo and K-Ci together
Slide closer baby
Move closer to me
Ha, that devante baby
A reference to DeVante Swing, a member of Jodeci
Oh you feel so sexy, so good
You are attractive and physically pleasing to me
Sorry I left you
Apologies for abandoning you
Left you cryin
You were upset and emotional because of my actions
But since you've been gone
Since you left me
I've been all alone
I have been by myself
Cause all of my tears
I cried a lot
You know they left me drownin
My tears overwhelmed me
Please baby I'm beggin
I'm pleading with you
For you to stay at home
I want you to stay with me
Tonight
This evening
Let's start our love again
Let's try to rebuild our romantic relationship
We can be more than just friends
We can resume our romantic relationship
Don't you know
Are you aware
The sun
The sun in the sky
Is going down
The sun is setting
So baby won't you just stay
I'm asking you to spend more time with me
Forget about yesterday
Don't dwell on past events
Cause I want you so bad
I desire you deeply
Make love to me like you never had
Let's have sex in a passionate and intimate way
My love
My affection for you
Is coming down
My emotions are overwhelming me
So baby won't you just stay
I'm asking you to stay with me
For a little while
Just for a short period of time
Baby won't you just stay
I'm urging you to remain with me
For a little while
Only for a brief time
Baby won't you just stay
Please stay by my side
Baby won't you just stay
Remain here with me
So here we are
We are together right now
Just me and you
Only the two of us
We're thinkin of the things
We're reflecting on past experiences
That we used to do babe
We're reminiscing on the activities we used to participate in
Tonight is yours, lady
This evening is for you
Yours and mine
Both of us will enjoy tonight
Let's try again to put our trust on the line, yeah
Let's attempt to rebuild our trust in one another
