Make Me Stay A Bit Longer (2003 Reissue Bonus Track)

(album: Picturesque Matchstickable Messages From The Status Quo - 1968)

When you look at me tell me what you see
Do you see a man or just a jagged outline of one?
Do you hear my words, or do they go straight through you?

We get it together now and then
But I can feel we won't again
Still I can't stop this endless strain of you

Listen to my words and talk the sadness that I bring you
I'll leave you today, 'cos I am nothing to you

Oh-oh make me stay a bit longer
Make my heart and my body get stronger
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone
Make me stay a bit longer
Make my heart and my body get stronger
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone

When you look at me tell me what you see
Do you see a man or just a jagged outline of one?
Do you hear my words, or do they go straight through you?

Oh-oh make me stay a bit longer
Make my heart and my body get stronger
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone
Make me stay a bit longer
Make my heart and my body get stronger
Make me stay, don't send me away or I'll be alone.
