(Brian Holland-Lamont Dozier-Edward Holland, Jr.)



Why don't you stay in my, my lonely arms

Darling, stay in my, my lonely arms.



You are so thrilling and my arms, ooo, are so willing

I can't help revealing the way I'm feeling

I need it so



Stay in my lonely arms

Darling, stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms.



Holding you close is so heavenly

I can feel the love glow deep inside of me

Please, don't go.



Darling, stay, stay in my lonely arms

Stay in my lonely arms.



Each kiss makes love just a little stronger

Ooo, makes me wanna hold you, oh, just a little longer

Please, don't go.



Stay in my, in my lonely arms

Why don't you stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms

Stay, darling, stay in my lonely arms

Why don't you stay, ooo, stay in my lonely arms

You are so thrilling, my arms are willing

I can't help revealing the way I'm feeling

Why don't you stay, stay in my, in my lonely arms

Stay in my lonely arms.
