So who you're gonna turn to when the light is fading?
Who you're gonna run to when the rain sets in?
Who do you come to when the blues comes calling?
Who are you trying to fool coming around here again?
Yes, I heard you found a new plaything
Right now it seems you need a friend

Why don't you stay awhile?
Just till the night is through
Tell me you're lonely, baby I'm lonely too
So stay awhile, I'll stay awhile

All I ever wanted was a shoulder to lean on
And all you ever wanted was a dream that would last
Promises made in the heat of the moment
I know I never told you that was too much to ask
But it won't take much gentle persuasion
To make you remember, make me forget

Why don't you stay awhile?
Just till the night is through
Tell me you're lonely, baby I'm lonely too
So stay awhile, I'll stay awhile

You may not be a knight in white satin
Maybe the best was all in the past
Turn the lights low lay down beside me
Just till the dawn, I don't want you to go

Tell me you want me
Baby, I need you too
Stay awhile

Why don't you stay awhile?
Just till the night is through
Tell me you're lonely, baby I'm lonely too
Lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely too

Why don't you stay awhile?
Just till the night is through
Tell me you love me
'Cause baby, I love you too
And I love you, love you
I love you, love you too

Why don't you stay awhile?
Just till the night is through
Tell me you're lonely, baby I, I want you too
You know I want you too

Why don't you stay awhile?
Stay awhile, just stay a little while
Just till the night is through
