I find myself doing everything you ask me to do
We talk a little then you say you have to be gone
But when you leave me the memory hangs on and on

Why don't you linger a little bit longer
Won't you linger a little bit longer
Move in closer now feel my love grow stronger
Linger a little bit longer
A little bit longer

I can see you thinking about what your love means to me
I can sense the feeling that nobody else ever sees
You're always in a rush how I wish you'd take a little time
Why run when one kiss could make you mine all mine

Why don't you linger a little bit longer
Won't you linger a little bit longer
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger
Linger a little bit longer

Breaks me up every time that you go away
Wouldn't it be simpler all round if you were to stay yeah

Linger a little bit longer
Won't you linger just a little bit longer
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger
Linger a little bit longer
Won't you linger a little bit longer... move in closer
Feel my love grow stronger
Linger. A little bit longer
Why don't you linger a little bit longer
Won't you linger a little bit longer
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger
