Won't You Stay

Lyrics

Yeah, this is the best part of the trip
 Hold on to something, hold on to something
 We about to take the road less traveled
 You ain't gotta go home, but you can't stay here
 Let's go
 I get lonelier each time
 You go away I lose my mind
 I lay awake 'til you come and make things right
 (Yeah, yeah)
 I get lonelier each time you go away
 (C'mon)
 So baby won't you stay with me tonight?
 (Yeah)
 Check it out
 There's this lady I'm in love with
 (Yes, there is)
 Living inside this woman unknown
 But she's scared to let it show
 I know it sound like some bug shit
 (Yeah, it do)
 It's just she come with
 Hang ups and insecurities they gotta go
 She always nervous around me but see this lady inside
 She's ready to be my baby tonight and ever since this lady found me
 This woman think I'm dangerous
 And ain't ready to put her safety aside
 I try to tell her that I got her back
 And no matter where we at, in our lives
 I'll treat her like she my girl
 I asked her "What's wrong with dat?"
 (What's wrong with dat?)
 She like "It just ain't right
 There's so many more women and men in the world"
 I have to admit the girl got a point
 (True)
 Maybe my ambition's made to make me want something
 I just can't have, so now it's time for me to blow this joint
 I still know I'm in love, I just stay focused
 And true to my path, word
 I get lonelier each time
 You go away I lose my mind
 I lay awake 'til you come and make things right
 (Yeah, yeah)
 I get lonelier each time you go away
 (Uh)
 So baby won't you stay with me tonight?
 (Yeah, yeah)
 I got to get away
 Ladies you ever felt growing away
 By your man, asking "Baby, won't you stay?"
 He chilling with his crew, he should be building with you
 He got you feeling the blues, 'cause the children to glue
 He willing to do whatever it takes, to save 'em
 From a fate he can't see when he misbehaving
 Brave men don't let they ladies raise they children theyself
 You're so busy trying to save 'em, that you you're killing yourself
 With the stress and strife and the fights and the advice
 From the ladies of the night, who can't run they own life
 Up in your air, nothing is fair
 Why do you care? Why do you always take it there?
 The crying, the tears, you ain't prepared for the jewels
 That I'm trying to share, flying there
 Dying inside, hot in the fear, the writing is clear on the wall
 For you to read the sign, ayo, the fine is the way we design
 To be fine but still
 I get lonelier each time
 (I get so lonely)
 You go away I lose my mind
 ♪
 I lay awake 'til you come and make things right
 (Mm, make it right, make it right, make it right)
 I get lonelier each time you go away
 (la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la)
 So baby won't you stay with me tonight?
 Gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go
 (Baby don't go)
 Gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go
 (Baby don't go)
 Gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go
 (Baby don't go)
 Gotta, Gotta
 Gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go
 (Baby don't go)
 Gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go
 (Baby don't go)
 Gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go
 (Baby don't go)
 Gotta, Gotta
 Yo, you can tell when people wanna spend they life together
 Despite the weather
 They treat each other like a treasure
 Can't fight forever, you got to give it up
 I ain't got a lot of time, we got to live it up
 I make my music like I make my love
 People use it like they take they drugs
 In the morning when they wakin' up
 This music got me out late but
 I holla at you when I'm done, don't stay up
 Will love play with us? It sting like paper cuts
 Doused in alcohol, but if it's real
 They ain't no greater rush, I got faith in us
 It's only you who really know me
 I be surrounded by people and still feel lonely
 So baby won't you stay
 (Why won't you stay?)
 Baby won't you stay?
 (Why won't you stay?)
 Baby won't you stay with me tonight?
 (Oh)
 Stay with me tonight
 Stay with me tonight
 Oh, c'mon
