"Stay Awhile" lyrics

"Stay Awhile"
(from "What's Love Got To Do With It" soundtrack)

So who you gonna turn to when the light is fading?
Who you gonna run to when the rain sets in?
Who do you come to when the blues comes calling?
Who you trying to fool coming around here again?

Yes, I heard you found a new plaything
Right now it seems you need a friend

Why don't you stay a while
Just 'til the night is through
Tell me you're lonely; baby, I'm lonely, too
So stay a while
I'll stay a while

All I ever wanted was a shoulder to lean on
And all you ever wanted was a dream that would last
Promises made in the heat of the moment
Ooh, I know I never told you that was too much to ask

But it won't take much gentle persuasion
To make you remember, make me forget

Oh, why don't you stay a while
Just 'til the night is through
Tell me you're lonely; baby, I'm lonely, too
So stay a while

You may not be a knight in white satin
Maybe the best was all in the past
Turn the lights low, lay down beside me
Just 'til the dawn, I don't want you to go
Ooh, ooh
Tell me you want me
Baby, I need you, too
Stay a while

Why don't you stay a while
Just 'til the night is through
Tell me you're lonely; baby, I'm lonely, too
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, too
Why don't you stay a while
Just 'til the night is through
Tell me you love me, 'cause baby, I love you, too
And I love you, love you, I love you, love you, too
Why don't you stay a while, mhm
Just 'til the night is through
Tell me you love me, and baby, I, I want you too
You know I want you, too
Why don't you stay a while
Stay a while, just stay a little while with me
Just 'til the night is through
Tell me you love me
