Stay with Me
Emotional Longing: Urban Sound Collective's Stay with Me
Lyrics
Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand
Expressing difficulty with one-night stands, acknowledging the need for love
But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man
Affirming the universal need for love despite personal challenges
These nights never seem to go to plan
Acknowledging that plans for the night often go awry
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand
Expressing a desire for the person not to leave and to hold hands
Oh, won't you stay with me
Pleading for the person to stay
'Cause you're all I need
Declaring that the person is everything needed
This ain't love, it's clear to see
Clarifying that the relationship isn't love but something else
But, darling, stay with me
Requesting the person to stay despite the nature of the relationship
Why am I so emotional
Questioning the emotional intensity of the situation
This is not a good look, gain some self-control
Acknowledging a lack of self-control in the emotional context
And deep down I know this never works
Admitting awareness that the relationship might not succeed
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt
Offering physical closeness as a way to alleviate emotional pain
Oh, won't you stay with me
Reiterating the plea for the person to stay
'Cause you're all I need
Affirming that the person is all that is needed
This ain't love, it's clear to see
Repeating that the relationship is not genuine love
Oh, won't ya stay with me
Reiterating the plea for the person to stay
Oh, won't you stay with me
Repeating the plea for the person to stay
'Cause you're all I need
Affirming that the person is all that is needed
This ain't love, it's clear to see
Repeating that the relationship is not genuine love
But, darling, stay with me
Requesting the person to stay despite the nature of the relationship
Oh, won't you stay with me (won't you stay, won't you stay)
Repeating the plea for the person to stay, with emphasis
'Cause you're all I need
Declaring that the person is everything needed
This ain't love, it's clear to see (this ain't love)
Repeating that the relationship is not genuine love
But, darling, stay with me
Requesting the person to stay despite the nature of the relationship
