Lyrics
You, you make my life much brighter
You bring brightness to my life.
You're always on my mind
Constantly in my thoughts.
You, you make my load much lighter
You make my burdens lighter.
True love is hard to find
Expressing the rarity of true love.
Sometimes I feel I have to get away
Feeling the need to escape at times.
I change my mind when I look in your eyes
Changing perspectives when looking into your eyes.
And when those clouds come in and try to darken our days
Challenges may come, but the desire is to face them together.
I'll always want you to
Expressing a constant longing for the other person.
Stay, stay, darling
Repeated emphasis on the plea for the person to stay.
Stay, stay, darling
-Stay, stay, darling (you know you got to stay)
-Stay, stay, darling
-You saw through my lies and deception
Acknowledging the partner's ability to see through deception.
Yeah, I was losing my way
Reflecting on a period of confusion and being lost.
You, you gave my life some direction
The partner provided direction and purpose.
And now I'm ready to say
Ready to express feelings and commitment.
I know there's bound to be some hard times ahead
Acknowledging the inevitability of challenges.
I'd be a fool to believe
Awareness of potential hardships but choosing belief in love.
But if you go I'd rather think of dying instead
Prefer the idea of facing death over separation.
I never want you to leave
Strong desire for the partner to stay.
Stay, darling
Reiteration of the plea for the partner to stay.
Stay, stay, darling (you know you got to stay)
-Stay, stay, darling
-Stay, stay, please stay, darling
-When you walked out my door
Awareness of the partner's return after leaving.
I knew you'd be back for more
Leaving behind past difficulties.
Let's leave the past behind
A shared commitment to moving forward.
True love is so hard to find
Reaffirmation of the challenges in finding true love.
Don't be afraid
Encouragement and confidence in the relationship.
It's gonna be all right
-'Cause I know that I can make you love me
-Love me, love, love, love, love me, love me
-When you walked out my door
Repetition of the theme of returning and leaving the past.
I knew you'd be back for more
-Let's leave the past behind
-True love is so hard to find
-I'll always want you to stay
Continued desire for the partner to stay.
Stay (stay), stay, darling
Repeated plea for the partner to stay.
Stay, stay, darling
-Stay, stay, darling
-Stay, stay, please stay, darling
-And then we can scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop, yeah
Playful and rhythmic interlude, possibly symbolizing unity.
Then we can scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop, yeah
-Then we can scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop, yeah
-Then we can scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop
-I want you to stay, stay, darling
Final repetition of the plea for the partner to stay.
Stay, stay, darling
-Stay, stay, darling (you know you got to stay)
-Stay, stay, please stay, darling
-(Scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop)
Repetition of playful and rhythmic interlude, expressing desire for love.
You know you got to stay
-(Scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop)
-I think about you night and day
-(Scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop)
-You know you've got to stay
-(Scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop)
-I can make you love me
-Love me, love me, love me
-Love me, love me, love me
-Love me, love me, love me
-Lo-lo-lo love me, lo-lo-lo
Final plea and emphasis on being loved.
