Stay With Me Tonight Lyrics

The streetlamps try to do their best
but the light's faded in the west.
It's like a night straight out of Poe,
and one I'd hate to be alone.
But with my ego at full mast
I cannot bring myself to ask you
Baby,
Stay with me tonight
It's a while before the light will win
and I'd love to have you here to tuck me in
Oh Baby,
I'd hate to be needy.
It's just the shadows seem kind of seedy,
and I'm begging you to stay here with me
I never liked those girls who cling,
needing a man for everything.

With batted eyes and pouts intent,
they bask in attention spent.
But one thing I envy in their best,
They wouldn't hesitate to ask you
Baby,
Stay with me tonight
It's a while before the light will win
and I'd love to have you here to tuck me in
Oh Baby,
I'd hate to be needy.
It's just the shadows seem kind of seedy,
and I'm begging you to stay here with me
I've been the same girl all along
too independent, proud and strong.
More like an island than a rock
than like a pillow or a dock.
But sometimes strength is just a mask
That's why tonight my love, I ask you
Baby,
Stay with me tonight
It's a while before the light will win
and I'd love to have you here to tuck me in
Oh Baby,
I'd hate to be needy.
It's just the shadows seem kind of seedy,
and I'm begging you to stay here with me
Baby,
Stay with me tonight.
It's a while before the light will win
and I'd love to have you here to tuck me in
Oh Baby,
I'd hate to be needy.
It's just the shadows seem kind of seedy,
and I'm begging you to stay here with me
Stay here with me
Stay with me
Stay here with me
