Stay The Night
Mariah Carey Lyrics

You're kissing me and saying I'm the one you need
You are showing your affection towards me and telling me that I am the one you desire.

To keep you warm and lay with you tonight
You want to spend the night with me and be close to me to experience warmth.

Baby, I feel the same way, I don't want to leave
I reciprocate your emotions and don't want to depart from you as well.

Wanna hold you close and feel your love inside
I wish to embrace you and feel the affection you have for me.

But I don't wanna play myself
However, I don't want to deceive myself or act foolishly in this situation.

'Cause I know you're with someone else
This is because I am aware that you are committed to someone else.

And I don't need complications in my life
I don't require any further difficulties or complexities in my already challenging life.

And I don't wanna fall back in
I also don't want to relapse into my previous state of involvement with you.

And get caught up in you again
Nor do I want to become entangled or embroiled with you once more.

Boy, I'm so conflicted in my mind
Consequently, I am feeling distressed, confused, and uncertain in my thoughts.

Boy, you keep saying stay the night
Despite my reservations, you keep requesting and insisting that I spend the night with you.

Just let me rock you till the morning light
You wish to soothe me with your affection until the break of dawn.

It's cold outside and much too late to drive
It's currently frigid outdoors and too far along in the night to operate a vehicle.

You know I need you, baby, I'm so lost without your love
You are fully aware that I am dependent upon you for my happiness and feel aimless without your love.

Obviously, procrastinating just to be
It's apparent that I am deliberately avoiding leaving your presence to prolong our time together.

Close to you a little longer now, boy
I want to remain close to you for a while more, my dear.

It's hard for me to break away from you, baby
I find it difficult to detach myself from you, my love.

Never could resist you and I still haven't learned how
I've never been able to refuse you, and up until now, I have not discovered how to do so.

And I don't wanna be a fool
But I don't want to seem foolish either in my decision-making process.

But it's hard when it comes to you
It's challenging for me to maintain my composure when it involves you.

And I'm feeling vulnerable tonight
I'm experiencing a sense of susceptibility or insecurity tonight.

'Cause I don't wanna miss the chance
This is because I don't want to overlook or overlook the opportunity.

Of reliving our sweet romance
To relive and experience our previous, affectionate relationship together.

Boy, I'm so confused down deep inside
Therefore, I am feeling bewildered, bewildered, and uncertain deep down inside of me.

Oh, you keep saying stay the night
Once more, you continue to request and demand that I remain the night with you.

(Baby stay, baby stay, baby stay)
Begging me, imploring me to stay by your side, to linger a bit longer with you.

(Lost without your love)
Stating how incomplete, aimless, and in despair she is without his love around her.

(Stay the night) you keep on saying
Asking and repeating over and over again, inviting her to stay the night with him.

(I'm so lost without your love)
Re-emphasizing Mr. Carey's dependency on his romantic love and announcing how lost he feels without it.

(Stay the night)
Asking, coaxing Mariah to believe that she should stay and not leave.
