Stay With Me

(album: Cut Above The Rest - 1979)

Why don't you stay with me?
Come on and play with me
You know I'm out of my tree

Honey, why did you walk away?
When you knew I had something to say
Sitting here drinking alone
Left wondering why you ain't gonna phone

But I know, baby
That you were just sent for me
You're driving me crazy
I'm begging right down on my knees

Why don't you stay with me?
(Yeah)
Come on and play with me
(Yeah)
You know I'm out of my tree
Lay down your love

I ain't satisfied 'cause you never tried
When making love was a matter of pride
I heard it from friends just the other day
That you're coming back, maybe this time you'll stay

Whenever you're near me
I see the truth in your lies
Please open your heart to me
I'm begging you down on my knees

Why don't you stay with me?
(Yeah, yeah)
Come on and play with me
(Yeah)
You know I'm out of my tree
(Baby, baby, baby, it's alright)
Lay down your love
(Alright)

Falling in love wasn't easy
But people need love to survive
If I knew then, all the things I know now
There'd be more then enough to go 'round

Why don't you stay with me?
(Yeah)
Come on and play with me
(Yeah)
You know I'm out of my tree
(Baby, baby, baby, it's alright)
Lay down your love

Why don't you stay with me?
(Yeah)
Come on and play with me
(Yeah)
You know I'm out of my tree
(Baby, baby, babe, it's alright)
Lay down your love

Why don't you stay with me?
(Come on stay with me, baby)
Come on and play with me
(No, no)
You know I'm out of my tree
(Oh, come on baby, you know it's alright)
Lay down your love
(Yeah, whoppie)
