Please Don't Stay (Once You Go Away)

(album: Let's Get It On - 1973)

Baby please stay
Don't go away baby
Don't go away please stay
Stay, please stay baby
Don't go away, don't go away
Don't go away

I'm asking you darling
Please stay, please stay, please
Don't go away baby
Please stay baby, please
Don't go away, no
I couldn't stand it darling

I won't be able to sleep peacefully
In bed without you beside me darling, darlin anymore
No sugar, no I won't be warm and secure
Oh baby baby baby, like I was before
Oh baby

I'll just lie tossing and turning
Tossing and turning, tossing and turning
All night long
Scared that if I closed my eyes
When I got ready to wake up
I might find you gone

Baby please stay
Don't go away baby
Don't go away please stay
'Cause I could never find nobody
To make me feel this way
No, sugar

For I never felt this way before
No, no sugar you did it
Oh I never felt so good, honey before
Oh I never felt so good, oh before
Oh sugar 'cause you dig it, you got it
Oh I never felt so good
Oh I love you, I just love you

Oh now I never felt so good before
I love ya
Oh now I never felt so good before
I never could come this way before, baby oh oh
I never could come this way before, baby oh oh
