ERYKAH BADU - Stay Lyrics

Genre: R&B

Songwriters: Richard Thomas Calhoun, Chaka Khan

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 got to pay
Someway, 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)

Patricia Peoples

The message to "Stay" is simple-- don't leave me here alone. We are adults and we both know that there are some things we'll never have an answer for, on this earth. We see through adult eyes the way nature takes it's course, i.e. night follows day; rain waters the
earth and green grass grows. At least we're better off than my baby who cries cause something's wrong, but he can't voice what it is; it's up to me to figure it out for him until; he's old enough to see the course of fate, but not it's outcome. Since, things are so inexplicable, "stay" let us give each other as much comfort as we can, until we figure a new way or fate makes the choice for us.
