Stay With Me

Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one night stand
But I still need love cos I'm just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?

Oh, won't you stay with me?
Cos you're all I need
This ain't love, it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

Why am I so emotional?
No it's not a good look, gain some self control
Deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt
