You Can't Stay The Night

(album: Tutti-Frutti - 1982)

When I called you and said: "Come on over!"
I just needed some company
I only wanted to cry on your shoulder
That don't mean you can stay with me
Girl, I'm just not ready
To go through all that again
Maybe someday I'll want you to love me
But I'll tell you where and when...

You can't stay the night, oh no
This is no way to start a new love affair
You can't stay the night, oh baby
When I'm ready, girl, you know I'll be there
No, you can't
(No, you can't, no, you can't, you can't stay the night)

There ain't a girl who wouldn't feel some temptation
I'm attracted and that's for sure, but...
It's just too easy, you'll have to be patient
The best is always worth waiting for
Things will work out much better
If you just get in your car and go
And if I feel any different tomorrow
Oh honey, you'll be the first to know...

You can't stay the night, oh no
This is nowhere to start any love affair
You can't stay the night, oh no
When I'm ready, girl, you know I'll be there
Now you can't

Things will work out much better
If you just get in your car and go
And if I feel any different tomorrow
Oh honey, you'll be the first to know
But you can't stay the night...

(No, you can't...)
(No, you can't...)
(No, you can't...)
(You can't stay the night!)
(Repeat to the end fading)

No, you can't
You can't stay the night
Oh no, you can't
You can't stay the night, baby

Oh, oh, you can't
You can't stay the night
...Oh!
Oh, you can't
You can't stay the night
