Stay With Me
Thomas Anders Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you, do you, do you wanna be my illusion?
I dont want to be another man for you to be pretending.
Im the only man who needs to say the one who must surrender.
If you want to then,
I need you only.
If you need me then,
Stay with me, stay with me
Dont leave me lonely.
Do you wanna be mine tonight, tonight, tonight without pretending?
If you wanna then say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
And Ill surrender.
Do you, do you, do you wanna be mine, my tender girl?
Do you, do you, do you wanna be my solution?
I dont want to be another man for you to be pretending.
Im the only man who needs to say the one who must surrender.
If you want to then,
Stay with me, stay with me
I need you only.
If you need me then,
Stay with me, stay with me
Dont leave me lonely.
Do you wanna be mine tonight, tonight, tonight, without pretending?
If you wanna then say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
And Ill surrender.
I wish I could be in your eyes a great pretender.
I wish I could be in your life without a surrender.
Our future tortures me again like no tomorrow.
I wish we could just understand to end the sorrow.
If you want to then, stay with me, stay with me.
I need you only,
If you need me then,
Stay with me, stay with me
Dont leave me lonely.
Do you wanna be mine tonight, tonight, tonight, without pretending?
If you wanna then say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
And Ill surrender
Stay with me, stay with me.
Stay with me, stay with me.
The lyrics of Thomas Anders's "Stay with Me" express the desire of the singer to be loved and wanted by a woman he cares for deeply. The lines "Do you, do you, do you wanna be my presider?/Do you, do you, do you wanna be my illusion?" suggest that he wants the woman to be more than just a lover to him; he wants her to be a partner, a leader, and someone who can inspire him. However, he fears that he is just another man in her life, one that she is pretending to love.
The singer asserts that he is the only man who truly loves and needs her. He says, "I'm the only man who needs to say the one who must surrender." He hopes that by stating his love so openly, she will understand that he is genuine in his desire to be with her, and that he is not just another man who will hurt her.
The chorus of the song, "If you want to then, stay with me, stay with me/I need you only," explains that the singer wants the woman to stay with him, to be by his side, and to never leave him alone. He promises to love her, to be faithful to her, and to be the one person she can rely on.
