Lyrics

If you stay, stay darling (stay in my corner)
You make me oh, so proud, stay darling
Please, stay (stay in my corner)
To the world, I’d cry out loud how I love you
Honey, I love you, I really love you (stay, stay, stay, stay)
Please, please, please stay darling (stay in my corner)
And I will never, never let you down
Just say you’ll stay (stay in my corner)
‘Cause I’ll need you always around to tell me you love me
Honey, you love me, so darling stay (stay, stay, stay)
There’ll be times when I may fail
And I’ll need your love to sometimes comfort me
Bitter days may prevail but just a kiss from you
Will make them sweet, oh, stay, stay
But just a kiss from you
Will make them sweet
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Honey, I love you (stay)
I love you (stay)
I love you (stay in my corner)
I love you
I love you (stay)
I love you (stay)
I love you (stay in my corner)
Don’t you know baby (stay)
I love you (stay)
I love you (ooh) stay (stay in my corner)
I love you (stay)
I love you (stay)
I love you (stay in my corner) come on, come on, now
I love you (stay)
I love you (stay)
I love you (stay in my corner)
Baby (stay) ooh
Ooh, baby (stay)
I love you (stay in my corner) whoa
Baby (stay)

Stay (woo) baby
Stay
I love you (stay)
(Stay)
Ooh, don’t you know, baby (stay)
Don’t you know baby (stay)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (stay)
Ooh, I love you (stay)
