Please Stay - Billy Preston, Syreeta

It’s hard to speak

The words come slow

I want to stay

Just ask me

You’re much too wise to not have known

I’ll stay with you

Please ask

Girl, I try to ask

But I lost my nerve

How could I know I only had to ask

We don’t need to be alone

Here’s my life

Make it your own

I’m asking now, please stay

The world out there is often cold

So when I shake

Please hold me

I’ll be there for you

Help you through the worst

Believe me, girl

You’ll never have to ask

And when

(And when)

We’re one (we're one)

If I get afraid

(If you get afraid)

And start to run

(And start to run)

Please (please) start me

You could never get that far

For I need you

Where you are

Each time you try to get away

I’ll stay…

Please stay (please stay)

Please stay… (Please stay…)

Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey, hey, hey

We don’t need to be alone

Here’s my life

Make it your own

I’m asking you, girl (yeah)

Please stay (Oh…)

Why don’t you stay?

We don’t need to be alone

Here’s my life

Make it your own

I’m afraid

(Don't be afraid)

But I wanna stay

(I'm asking you)

I wanna stay.

Hey, hey, yeah

We don’t need to be alone

Here’s my life

Make it your own

I’m asking you, girl (hey-ey…)

Please stay

Why don’t you stay?
