Billy Preston & Syreeta - Please Stay

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, gi ,hey-ey....)
