Lyrics
STAY WITH ME
That will be the last time you see me, if you renounce our love.
Your love is right here, deep inside me and no other love is going to take it from me.
So, take off your shoes and put up your coat, you're gonna be warm tonight.
Stay with me now, don't you worry
cause your love is here by your side, you're gonna be warm tonight.
I'm saying, don't leave me alone, it will never be the same.
When a man leaves his home, and leaves a lady crying,
it puts the heart to shame
So, take off your shoes and put up your coat, you're gonna be warm tonight.
Stay with me now, don't you worry
cause your love is here by your side, you're gonna be warm tonight
you're gonna be warm tonight.
