"STAY A WHILE"
Note: Believe it or not, the song "Stay The Night" once fell victim to the same sort of idiot censorship that turned the Stones' "Let's Spend The Night Together" into "Let's Spend Some Time Together" on the Ed Sullivan Show back in the 60's. After a little bit of rewriting, this was the end result. - Jerry.
Come on up, mind your head
Leave your coat on the peg
We can talk
Tell me why can't I just ask her if she'll stay a while?
Have a drink, no it's dry
Cigarette? Nor do I
Shall we dance?
Tell me why can't I just ask her if she'll stay a while?
Stay a while, stay a while
There's just one thing that I want to do
Stay a while with you
But all I do is waste my time
Messing with silly talk and too much wine
My mind is in a whirl
'Cos all I want to say is
Girl why don't you stay a while?
(I don't dare to ask her if she'll stay a while!)
Ten to Ten? Surely not!
Oh it's slow--no it's fast, I forgot
Some more wine, what's your sign
Tell me why can't I just ask her if she'll stay a while
Can I just ask her if she'll stay a while
Stay a while, stay a while
There's just one thing that I want to do
Stay a while with you
But all I do is waste my time
Messing with silly talk and too much wine
My mind is in a whirl
'Cos all I want to say is
Girl, why don't you stay a while?
(I don't dare to ask her if she'll stay a while!)
