Stay With Me Tonight Songtext
von Emma Wallace

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 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 bask
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 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 and a rock
Than like a pillow or a dock
But sometimes strength is just a mask
And 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 hate to be needy
It′s just the shadows seem kind of seedy
And I'm begging you to stay here with me,
