Lyrics
My baby's gone away
The singer's romantic partner has left.
But I'd like for her to stay
Despite the partner leaving, the singer wishes for them to remain.
Stay at my place
The singer wants their partner to stay at their place.
Oh, won't you stay the night
The singer is urging their partner to spend the night.
Well my baby's gone away
Reiteration of the partner's departure.
But I'd like for her to stay
Reiteration of the singer's desire for the partner to stay.
Stay at my place
Expressing the wish for the partner to stay at the singer's place.
Oh, won't you stay the night
Reiterating the plea for the partner to spend the night.
Well I see her walkin' by
The singer sees their partner passing by.
With a smile on her face
Noticing the partner's smile despite not being together.
When she's not in my arms
The singer feels inadequate or incomplete without the partner.
Oh I'm a disgrace
The singer feels ashamed or unworthy without their partner.
Oh well
An expression of resignation or acceptance of the situation.
My baby's gone away
Reiteration of the partner's departure.
But I'd like for her to stay
Continued desire for the partner to stay despite their absence.
Stay at my place
Expressing the wish for the partner to stay at the singer's place.
Oh, won't you stay the night
Repeated plea for the partner to spend the night.
Well my baby's gone away
Reiteration of the partner's departure.
But I'd like for her to stay
Reaffirming the desire for the partner to stay.
Stay at my place
Wanting the partner to stay at the singer's place.
Oh, please just stay the night
A final plea for the partner to spend the night.
