Stay With Me
Steps (Pop) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I close my eyes and you're not there
I feel this emptiness inside do you care?
If you have to go I'll understand
But the pain's so hard to take when we're apart
You'll never see me cry it's locked away
But there's this feeling deep within me wants to stay
And if you where there would things be right
I need to find my way alone to win this fight

Stay with me tonight
One more time could make it right
One more chance to hold you tight
Won't you stay with me tonight?

And there's just no point in looking back
And finding fault in everything we ever had
And the promises we made with tears
Will always be with me in times - when you're not there

Stay with me tonight
One more time could make it right
One more chance to hold you tight
Won't you stay with me tonight?

If I hold you close no need to fight
I know that nothing I could say would make it right
If the chance has gone slipped away
Before you leave there's just one thing I've got to say

Stay with me tonight
One more time could make it right
One more chance to hold you tight
Won't you stay with me tonight?

Stay with me tonight
One more time could make it right




One more chance to hold you tight
Won't you stay with me tonight?

When I close my eyes and you're not there
When I'm alone and you're not around


I feel this emptiness inside do you care?
I feel lonely and wonder if you miss me too


If you have to go I'll understand
If you need to leave, I won't stop you


But the pain's so hard to take when we're apart
But it's difficult to deal with the pain of being apart


You'll never see me cry it's locked away
I keep my emotions hidden and won't let you see me cry


But there's this feeling deep within me wants to stay
But I have a strong desire to be with you


And if you where there would things be right
I wonder if everything would be better if you were here


I need to find my way alone to win this fight
I know I need to be independent and strong to overcome this struggle


And there's just no point in looking back
There's no need to dwell on the past


And finding fault in everything we ever had
And blaming everything on our past relationship


And the promises we made with tears
And the emotional promises we made to each other


Will always be with me in times - when you're not there
Those promises will always be remembered, even when we're apart


If I hold you close no need to fight
If we're together, there's no need to argue


I know that nothing I could say would make it right
I understand that there's nothing I can say to fix everything


If the chance has gone slipped away
If we've missed our opportunity


Before you leave there's just one thing I've got to say
Before you go, there's something important I need to tell you


Stay with me tonight
I want you to spend the night with me


One more time could make it right
Maybe one more chance is all we need


One more chance to hold you tight
Another opportunity to embrace you


Won't you stay with me tonight?
Please spend the night with me

And the mad thing is that this was originally written by a melodic rock band called Romeo's Daughter and mega producer Mutt Lange back in the 80s!
