Would it be asking too much of you
To let me stay tonight
Until I find my way back home again
Life's been so simple lately
I don’t want to go away
There is precious little left for me to say

I've go nowhere else to turn
Will you help me tonight
There's no-one to stand in our way
I just want to feel needed
Won’t you give me a chance
I know that you want me to stay

And there's no need to be disguising all your feelings
Cos I can't leave you alone
I've got nowhere else to turn

Would it be taking a liberty
In loving you tonight
I just want to hold you close again
I get so lonely sometimes
Then I think of you
There is precious little else that I can do

I've go nowhere else to turn
Will you help me tonight
There's no-one to stand in our way
I just want to feel needed
Won't you give me a chance
I know that you want me to stay

I've go nowhere else to turn
Will you help me tonight
There’s no-one to stand in our way
I just want to feel needed
Won’t you give me a chance
I know that you want me to stay

And there's no need to be disguising all your feelings
Cos I can’t leave you alone
I've got nowhere else to turn

Would it be taking a liberty
In loving you tonight
I just want to hold you close again
I get so lonely sometimes
Then I think of you
There is precious little else that I can do

I've go nowhere else to turn
Will you help me tonight
There's no-one to stand in our way
I just want to feel needed
Won’t you give me a chance
I know that you want me to stay

I've go nowhere else to turn
Will you help me tonight
There's no-one to stand in our way
I just want to feel needed
Won't you give me a chance
I know that you want me to stay

And there's no need to be disguising all your feelings
Cos I can't leave you alone
I've got nowhere else to turn
Will you help me tonight
There's no-one to stand in our way
I just want to feel needed
Won't you give me a chance
I know that you want me to stay

Genesis are an English rock band formed at Charterhouse School, Godalming, Surrey in 1967. The most commercially successful line-up includes keyboardist Tony Banks, guitarist Mike Rutherford and drummer/singer Phil Collins. Other important members were singer Peter Gabriel and guitarist Steve Hackett. The band underwent several significant changes in musical style over its career, from folk music to progressive rock in the 1970s, before moving towards pop at the end of the decade.

Formed by five Charterhouse pupils including Banks, Rutherford, Gabriel and Anthony Phillips, Genesis was named by former pupil Jonathan King who arranged them to record several unsuccessful singles and an album. After splitting with King, the group began touring professionally, signing with Charisma Records. Following the departure of Phillips, Genesis recruited Collins and Hackett and recorded several progressive rock style albums, with live shows centred around Gabriel’s theatrical costumes and performances.

Their discography includes fifteen studio and six live albums, six of which topped the UK chart. They have won numerous awards and nominations, including a Grammy Award for Best Concept Music Video with “Land of Confusion” and inspired a number of tribute bands recreating Genesis shows from various stages of the band’s career. In 2010, Genesis were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Their biggest hit to date is Invisible Touch which spent 3 consecutive weeks at #1.
