Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stay now, stay now
Baby if you've got to go away
I don't think I can take the pain
Won't you stay another day?
Oh don't leave me alone like this
Don't you say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day?
Just to go and try to throw it all away?
I've only just begun to know you
All I can say is won't you stay just one more day?
Stay now, stay now
Stay now, stay now
Baby if you've got to go away
I don't think I can take the pain
Won't you stay another day? (stay now, stay now, stay now)
Oh don't leave me alone like this
Don't you say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day?
I touch your face while you are sleeping
And hold your hand don't understand what's going on
Good times we've had return to haunt me
Though it's for you all that I do seems to be wrong
Baby if you've got to go away
I don't think I can take the pain
Won't you stay another day?
Oh don't leave me alone like this
Don't you say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day?
Stay now, stay now
Stay now, stay now
Stay now
