Stay Here, Stay Near Lyrics

[Intro:]
I love you
Why don't you stay?
Not for a little while
You've got to stay

[Verse 1:]
Stay here, don't you let me sleep alone tonight
I don't want to do it
I want to feel your body close to mine
Still you seem to shy away
When I need you the most

[Chorus:]
(Stay here)
I need your loving
(Stay near)
Don't go away
(Stay here)
Here next to me
(Stay near)
Like a dog on a choke chain
(Stay here)
There's so many reasons
(Stay near)
For you to stay
(Stay here)
I'm trying to tell you
(Stay near)
That I want you, I need you, baby

[Verse 2:] Don't you see what you're doing to me?
It don't make sense at all
I love you, and you say you love me too
Then why can't we get together
Make love over and over again?

I want to feel your body next to mine
Still you seem to shy away
When I need you the most

[Chorus]

You know, I mean, if you don't love me
You got to be strong
Stand up
Love me back

‘Cause I'm gonna keep on loving you
‘Til you love me back like I want you to
Keep on, me and you
Can you feel me love like you know you should?

I'm begging you to stay
You wanna leave me
