[Verse 1: Brian]
To be happy
You are all I need to make me happy
'Cause every time you're near
All the tears inside are raindrops
All the sadness in my lifetime goes away
Just believe in me
All I need is someone who believes in me
You're the good luck charm
You're the reason for the rainbows
God knows I'd hate to see you go away
Baby don't leave me this way
[Chorus: AJ & All]
If you stay
If you stay I'll give you what you want
I'll show you
I'll show you I'm the only one for you
If you stay
If you stay with me
Then I'll show you
I'll show you how much I need you
Oh how much I need you, babe
[Verse 2: Brian]
To be with you
I just wanna constantly be with you
It's only when you're around
All my problems solve my problems
All the clouds inside my garden roll away
Baby they roll away
[Chorus: Brian, AJ & All]
If you stay
If you stay I'll do anything you want
(I'll do anything you want)
I'll show you
I'll show you I'm the only one for you, baby
If you stay
If you stay with me
Then I'll show you
I'll show you how much I need you
(How much I need you)
How much I need you
(Oh how much I need you)
How much I need you baby
[Verse 3: Brian]
Oh forever
You have all my gratitude forever
For being who you are
Brings me victory as a promise
My frustrations and my losses fly high away
They fly, ooh-ooh!
[Interlude: All, Brian & AJ]
If you stay (stay baby, baby)
