You, you make my life much brighter
You're always on my mind
You, you make my load much lighter
True love is hard to find
Sometimes I feel I have to get away
I change my mind when I look in your eyes
And when those clouds come in and try to darken our days
I'll always want you to

Stay, stay, darling
Stay, stay, darling
Stay, stay, darling (you know you got to stay)
Stay, stay, darling

You saw through my lies and deception
Yeah, I was losing my way
You, you gave my life some direction
And now I'm ready to say
I know there's bound to be some hard times ahead
I'd be a fool to believe
But if you go I'd rather think of dying instead
I never want you to leave

Stay, darling
Stay, stay, darling (you know you got to stay)
Stay, stay, darling
Stay, stay, please stay, darling

When you walked out my door
I knew you'd be back for more
Let's leave the past behind
True love is so hard to find

Don't be afraid
It's gonna be all right
'Cause I know that I can make you love me
Love me, love, love, love, love me, love me

When you walked out my door
I knew you'd be back for more
Let's leave the past behind
True love is so hard to find

I'll always want you to stay

Stay (stay), stay, darling
Stay, stay, darling
Stay, stay, darling
Stay, stay, please stay, darling

And then we can scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop, yeah
Then we can scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop, yeah
Then we can scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop, yeah
Then we can scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop

I want you to stay, stay, darling
Stay, stay, darling
Stay, stay, darling (you know you got to stay)
Stay, stay, please stay, darling

(Scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop)
You know you got to stay
(Scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop)
I think about you night and day
(Scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop)
You know you've got to stay
(Scoop, scoop, scoop, scoodooly be bop)
I can make you love me
Love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, love me
Love me, love me, love me
Lo-lo-lo love me, lo-lo-lo
