I Want To Stay Here
Tiny Tim With Brave Combo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna go to the party with you
I don't wanna go to the dance
I don't wanna go anywhere with you
I just wanna stay here and love you

Now that I can be alone with you
I won't throw away the chance
There's no other place like home with you

I just wanna stay here and love you

All through the week
I miss you so
But, now that I've got you
I'm gonna hold you closer and closer and closer

I don't wanna go out walking with you
And now that I am in this trance
I don't even know if I'll talk to you
I just wanna stay here and
I wanna love you, I wanna love you

I just wanna stay here and love you
I wanna stay here and love you
Yes, I wanna stay here and love you
Just wanna stay here and love you, ooh-ho, baby, baby

I wanna stay here and love you
Yes, I wanna stay here and love you
