Lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
Stay, ahhh
Just a little bit longer
Please, please, please, please, please
Tell me that you’re going to
Now your daddy don’t mind
And your Mommy don’t mind
If we have another dance, ya
Just one more time
Oh, won’t you stay
Just a little bit longer
Please let me hear you say
That you will
Won’t you place your
Sweet lips to mine
Won’t you say you love me
All the time
Oh ya, just a little bit longer
Please, please, please, please, please
Tell me your going to
Come on, come on, come on, stay
Come on, come on, come on, stay, oh la de da
Come on, come on, come on, stay, my, my, my, my
Come on, come on, come on, stay
