Stay
Written by Richard Calhoun and Chaka Khan
from "Street Player" 1978
Please stay with me now
Don't you let me go
I'll make it somehow
I got to let you know
That I'll make it
Somehow, some way
Though I wait on the day
What I'm doing's gotta pay
Some way, somehow
My baby, when he cries
It's 'cause something's on his mind
This world is full of lies
You and me are one of a kind
The good Lord will stand behind every step
We are blind to fate, that's life, that's life
Stay, stay, stay, stay (won't you please)
Stay, stay, stay, stay
It fits, but you can't make it work
Where there's pain, there's got to be hurt
And the green grass grows from the dirt
Yeah, that's a fact of life alright
The good Lord stands behind every step
We are blind to fate, that's life, that's life
Stay, oh won't you please
Stay, stay (won't you)
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay (right here)
Stay, stay (don't you go, no no)
Stay, stay (oh no no)
Stay, stay (stay baby baby please stay)
Stay, stay (right here, right here, right here)
Stay, stay (I want you to stay right here)
Stay, stay (we can stay here, together, together yeah)
Stay, stay (don't listen to what people say)
Stay, stay (stay, stay, listen now yeah)
Stay, stay (stay, yeah yeah now)

Something's got me so excited baby
A feeling I've been holding back so long
You got me shook up, shook down, shook out

And boy, I can't wait to get started loving you
All night long, I waited for your love to come
To the roof, to show you the groove
It's you that I love, I love
And for this loving, I'll be waiting
For your love, anticipating
Hurry I said, cause I can't wait to get it on
I'm gonna give it to ya

All night long
I can't wait to love you baby

Oh, something's got me so delighted baby
I see your face in everything I do
You've got me, shook up, shook down, shook out
On your lovin
And boy, there is just not way, I'll ever, get over you
All night long, I waited for your love to come
To the roof, to show you the groove
It's you that I love, I love
Up on this rooftop, I'll be waiting
For your love, anticipating
Hurry up I said, cause I can't wait to get it on
All night long

All night long
Climb up on the rooftop, don't stop
My love's waiting when you reach the top
Jamaica funk, that's what it is
Let it get into you
Jamaica funk, that's what it is
Coming from Jamaica
Can you feel it

Cause I feel the funk, deep down in my soul
Comin from Jamaica

I wanna give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya, give it to ya
All night long
