Lyrics
Can you stay can you stay
Asking if the person can remain or continue in the relationship
We can't see eye to eye
There's a lack of agreement or understanding between them
We still not speaking, yeah
They're not communicating or speaking to each other currently
You blame my attitude when I'm not feeling it
Partner blames their mood or behavior for the issues
Laying next to each other
They're physically close but emotionally distant
No pillow talking here
No intimate or personal conversations happening
Are you still down to play your position
Checking if the partner is still committed to their role in the relationship
Yeah how do we go from sweet little
Reflecting on earlier, more affectionate times
Words to going back and forth
Transition from loving words to frequent arguments
Hold on tight, tell me what I'm worth
Asking for reassurance about their value in the relationship
Love is a marathon so let's stay on course
Comparing love to a marathon, emphasizing the need to stay committed
Let's take it back, back
Desire to revert to an earlier, happier period
Like it was before, ooh I like that
Expressing fondness for how things used to be
Pull it back together on the right track
Wishing to restore their relationship to a positive direction
When it gets down to the wire
During difficult times, questioning if the partner will support them
Can you be my rider? Can you stay?
Requesting commitment and support from the partner
Can you stay? Boy, can you stay with me?
Reiterating the request for the partner to stay in the relationship
Can we, can wе try
Hoping to resolve their issues
To make it right for the night
Wanting to make things right for the moment
It's been a while sincе we just fight
Expressing that they haven't argued in a while
I'm 'bout to turn on that Marvin Gaye
Planning for intimacy by referencing Marvin Gaye's music
That's for you and my lingerie
Hinting at seduction or intimacy through lingerie
Let's take it back, back
Repeating the desire to return to a happier time in the relationship
Like it was before, ooh I like that
Expressing enjoyment for the past and wanting to recreate it
Pull it back together on the right track
Wanting to fix their relationship
When it gets down to the wire
Asking if the partner will support them during tough times
Can you be my rider? Can you stay?
Asking if the partner will stand by them
Can you stay? Boy, can you stay with me?
Repeating the request for the partner to stay
Anything worth having ain't easy
Emphasizing the value of things that require effort in a relationship
Put it in the work
Encouraging effort to show the partner's need in the relationship
Just to show you need me boy
Expressing the need for the partner to demonstrate their need for them
Will you stay with me at the start
Asking if the partner will stay at the beginning and during difficult times
Or when it gets hard
Highlighting the importance of sticking together during tough moments
That's when it really matters, oh yeah
Stating that commitment matters the most during challenges
No more cutting corners
Rejecting shortcuts and advocating for building a stronger love
Put that shit in order make our love warmer
Advocating for putting effort into organizing their love life
Keep it moving forward make the final play
Encouraging progress and making a decisive move in the relationship
Oh baby can you stay with me
Asking for commitment and staying together
Let's take it back, back
Reiteration of the desire to return to a happier time
Like it was before, ooh I like that
Expressing fondness for a previous positive state
Pull it back together on the right track
Desire to fix things and return to a better state in the relationship
When it gets down to the wire
Questioning if the partner will support during challenging times
Can you be my rider? Can you stay?
Requesting commitment and support from the partner, again
Can you stay? Boy, can you stay with me?
Reiterating the request for the partner to stay in the relationship
