[Verse 1] Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man These nights never seem to go to plan I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand? [Chorus] Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love, it's clear to see But darling, stay with me [Verse 2] Why am I so emotional? No, it's not a good look, gain some self-control And deep down I know this never works But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt [Chorus] Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love, it's clear to see But darling, stay with me [Interlude] Oooh, oooh Oooh, oooh [Chorus] Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love, it's clear to see But darling, stay with me [Chorus] Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love, it's clear to see But darling, stay with me
