JIM MESSINA
"Stay The Night"
(Messina)

Oh, sweet woman, sure feels good to hold you tight
And I want you to know that I really want to be with you tonight.

Feelin' the warm fire and you cuddled up next to me
Lets me know that we feel the same you see.

(But I'd better go)
(No, oh no, oh no)
Honey, stay the night
Please, won't you stay the night?

(My friends they tell me not to get too close to you)
(You'll sing your love songs and you'll break my heart in two)
(I really feel that you will, oh baby).

I got love more than enough just waitin' for you
(But is it true?)
Oh, Pauline, I just wanna give a little love to you.

(But I'd better go)
(No, oh no, oh no)
Honey, won't you please stay the night?
Please, won't you stay the night?

I hear the trashman throwin' them cans around
I hear the milkman that means daylight's comin' around.

(Oh, sweet Jimmy, it sure been nice just bein' your friend)
(I best be goin' now but maybe I'll come on back again).

(Now I'd better go)
(No, oh no, oh no)
Honey, won't you please stay the night?
Please, won't you stay the night?

(Whatcha do with my coat, honey, where's my shoes?)
(I best be goin', there ain't no time to lose)
Now lay your head back down to rest
There ain't no need to go now, I know best.

(Jimmy, you're so bad, you're gonna make me late)
(Oh, I shoulda known better with a man like you)
(I'd never ever get away, oh no, I ain't gonna, never)
(This lady ain't never gonna get away, never gonna get away).

Ain't gonna let you go
Please, please, listen to me, baby
Please, please, listen to me, baby.

(I got to go now)
Just can't let you go
(I better go, I better go, I best be gettin' on now)
Stay
Please, please, listen to me, baby
Please, please, listen to me, baby.

(But I just can't stay the night)
(No, I just can't stay the night)
Ooo, it feels so right
Stay the night
Stay the night.
