Darling Stay With Me
The Savoys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stay with me baby, stick around me sometimes
You know the only one to ease my worried mind
I get your kindling mama and a brick of coal
I get your kindling mama and a pinch of coal
You got the nerve to tell that you don't want to know
Stay with me baby, stick around me sometimes
You know the only one to ease my worried mind
Stay with me baby, stick around me sometimes
Stay with me baby, stick around me sometimes
You know the only one to ease my worried mind
