[Intro]
Oh, no
Oh, boy, just stay

[Verse 1]
Waited so long
Now I found the perfect one
I was alone
Boy, now I'm having so much fun

[Chorus]
So stay with me forever
I will never let you down (No, baby, no)
If we stay together
My love could always be around

[Verse 2]
Now I can see
Just how special love can be
Please take my hand, oh baby
And together we'll make history

[Bridge]
I'd give my heart and my soul (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I promise not to let go, oh no, no
And if there's one thing I know (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Is boy I'll fight for you, I'll die for you
And I'll always love you so

[Chorus]
Stay with me forever (I love you)
I will never let you down (No, baby, no)
If we stay together (If we stay together)
My love could always be around
Stay with me forever (Stay with me forever)
I will never let you down (I won't let you down, no)
If we stay together
My love could always be around

[Bridge]
Oh, I'd give my heart and my soul (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I promise not to let go, oh no, oh
And if there's one thing I know (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Is boy I'll fight for you, I'll die for you
And I'll always love you so
Stay with me don't ever leave
You're the only one I'll ever need
Stay with me, oh baby, please
Stay with me

[Instrumental Break]

Oh, no
Oh, boy, just stay

[Chorus]
Stay with me forever (Stay with me forever)
I will never let you down (And I won't let you down, no)
If we stay together (Oh baby, if you stay)
My love could always be around (Around and around)

[Outro]
Stay with me
Baby please
I will love you better
Darling, it's
You and me
And love this way forever
Stay with me
Can't you see
The love when we're together
Darling it's
You and me
And I won't leave you ever, no
Stay with me forever (Stay with me forever)
I will never let you down (My love, no)
If we stay together (Stay together)
My love could always be around

Pebbles (born Perri McKissack on August 29, 1964) is a singer-songwriter from the Bay Area. She got her start as a back-up singer for the Vallejo-based group Con Funk Shun in the early 1980s before breaking through with her self-titled debut album in 1987. Her first big single from the album was the L.A. Reid & Babyface-produced hit “Girlfriend,” which hit #1 on the R&B Singles chart and peaked at #5 on the pop chart. She followed that up with her biggest single “Mercedes Boy,” which also topped the R&B Singles chart while peaking at #2 on both the Billboard Hot 100 & Dance charts.

Her 1990 sophomore album Always was primarily written and produced by L.A. & Face. The album featured the #1 R&B singles “Giving You the Benefit” and her duet with Babyface “Love Makes Things Happen” as well as the Top 5 R&B hit “Backyard” with Salt-N-Pepa. On a personal note, R&B singer Cherrelle is her cousin and she was featured on the title track along with Johnny Gill.

Prior to the release of Always, Pebbles and L.A. Reid married in 1989. Following the release of that album, she began managing TLC under her Pebbitone company while they signed to LaFace Records. TLC filed for bankruptcy in 1995 and cited mismanagement by Pebbles as a source of their financial issues. This situation took a toll on her marriage to L.A. Reid and he filed for divorced the same year.
