Ooh…ooh…mmm…mmm…yeah…hey…
On, no
Na, na, na, na, na, na, yeah…ah…ah…yeah…yeah…
Just to feel your body, your sensual desire
You know my heart goes crazy when your tender lips touch mine
Let's explore our love and the candlelight and wine
We'll leave the world behind, baby
[girl, do you believe] in the miracle of love
[would you try and see] i'm the one you're dreamin' of
[baby, close your eyes] let the fantasy become real
Oh, yeah (will i)
Stay till the mornin', baby, rock me, girl
Like i wanna rock you (like i wanna rock you) [please] (stay with me, baby)
Stay till the mornin', baby, let me know
That you want me too [i wanna rock you, baby] (i wanna rock you, baby)
Can you feel me, baby, 'cause i'm comin' from the heart
You're such a sexy lady, ooh, just tell me where to start
I'll make sweet, sweet love like you never felt before
And give you so much more, hey, hey
[when you need a friend] i will come to you
[you just tell me when] girl, that's all you got to do
[let me be your man] i will be your pleasure
[anytime] anytime (anytime you need)
Stay till the mornin', baby, rock me, girl
Like i wanna rock you (ooh, don't you wanna stay with me, girl) [do you wanna stay]
Stay till the mornin', baby (yeah), let me know
That you want me too (ooh, girl, i want you to stay with me, yeah)
Stay till the mornin', baby, rock me, girl
Like i wanna rock you (in the mornin', in the evenin', and all night long)
Stay till the mornin', baby (oh), let me know
That you want me too [i want you] (i wanna rock you, baby) [don't you want me too]
I'll save you from the highest mountain (the highest mountain)
Paint the words across the sky (all across the sky) [ooh…ooh…ooh…]
I can't live without you (you know i can't)
I can love you through the day and all night, and all night (please), and all night
Of all the riches in the world, you will forever be my girl (i wanna know)
Stay till the mornin', baby (baby), rock me, girl
Like i wanna rock you (i, i wanna rock you, baby, i wanna know)
Stay till the mornin', baby [i wanna know if you wanna stay with me tonight], let me know
That you want me too (girl, rock me, rock me, rock me, and rock me)
[you better rock me, baby] (all night long)
Stay till the mornin', baby, rock me, girl [i'd rather, i'd rather, rather make sweet love to you]
Like i wanna rock you (i'm beggin' you, baby) [yeah, baby] (help me, y'all)
Stay till the mornin', baby [oh], let me know [ooh]
That you want me too (that you want it too, temptations sing)
Stay (i want you to stay, oh, oh…)
With me, ooh, ooh [i wanna be your lover, baby]
Stay (i wanna know would you stay)
With me, ooh, ooh [i'll do just about anything you'll want me to do, yeah]
Stay [oh…oh…oh…] (stay with me) [oh…oh…]

Stay [i love, i love everything about you]
With me, ooh, ooh
