[Spoken Intro]
This time I wanna be with you
Nobody else
Nobody else

[Verse 1]
Are you sad
Or just a little lonely
I can see something
Deep in your eyes
Do you walk away
Or do you come closer
Are you looking for romance
Or just a surprise

[Chorus]
(Stay for the night)
For the night
(Baby won't you play with me)
Won't you play with me

[Verse 2]
Don't want to play no games
Don't want to put you through changes
All I want to know is girl
What's on your mind
Do you think about me
The way I think about you
Don't want to rush this thing
I want to take my time

[Chorus]
Stay for the night
Baby won't you play with me
Stay for the night
Get away with me

[Verse 3]
Come let me in
Come on let me show you
What you've been missing
What you've been looking for
I know what you want
I know what you've been feeling
All you gotta do girl
Is just let go

[Chorus]
Stay for the night
Stay for the night baby
Baby won't you play with me
Won't you play with me
Stay for the night [2x]
Get away with me [2x]

[Outro]
Y'know that I love you
Y'know that I'm the only one for you
Let me give you what you need
Come on stay with me
Girl let me have you
Let me do what I want to do with you baby
I promise that I'll do you good
I wanna touch you
I wanna hold you baby
I wanna squeeze you all night
