Please hold me close and let me stay until the sunrise
Just say you'll hold me forever, at least for tonight
It's been so long since I got to close to someone
I know this ain't love but let me stay a while (ah ah ah ah)
And pull me closer tonight, keep holding my hand
I know this ain't love but let me stay the night (ah ah ah ah)

I said let me stay a while
I said let me stay a while
I said let me stay a while (ah ah ah ah)
I said let me stay a while (ah ah ah ah)
I said let me stay a while
I said let me stay a while
I said let me stay a while
I said let me stay a while
I said let me stay a while

No, no I don't need a degree to know this ain't love at first sight
'Cause I know this how works, I got my abc's right
So let's play pretend and say you'll be the one for me
Say you'll be the one for me forever
I know this will end tonight
But say you'll be the one for me
Say you'll be the one for me

'Cause it's been so long since I got to close to someone
I know this ain't love but let me stay a while (ah ah ah ah)
And pull me closer tonight, keep holding my hand
I know this ain't love but let me stay the night (ah ah ah ah)

I said let me stay a while
I said let me stay a while
I said let me stay a while (ah ah ah ah)
I said let me stay a while (ah ah ah ah)
I said let me stay a while
I said let me stay a while
I said let me stay a while
I said let me stay a while
