Kool & The Gang

Stay Awhile

Shoo-be-do-do, shoo-be-do-do

(I know we can make it, baby)

Shoo-be-do-do-do

Hey, lady, yes, you

I just want you to stay

(I know you've been hurt before)

Shoo-be-do-do, shoo-be-do-do

You see, it's gonna be alright, that's all

(But I can make you so happy)

Shoo-be-do-do-do

(Stay with me, ooh-ooh-ooh...)

Hey, baby, where're you going

Love is here, don't act like you don't know

Don't let your heart grow cold

'Cause you will only lose, well

You've got to know by now, girl

Stay awhile with me

Won't you stay awhile with me

And let my love light your fire

Oh, boy, love is sweet and always mellow

I know it feels good to love

But I've been fooled before

You oughta know by now

That love don't come easy

So when we spend some time, oh

If I stay, don't be cruel

Don't you blow my mind

If I spend some time with you

If I stay, don't be cruel

Don't you blow my mind

If I spend some time with you

If I stay awhile, ooh...

Shoo-be-do-do, shoo-be-do-do

Oh, angel, I know you've been hurt before

Shoo-be-do-do-do

(That's all we need)

But life fills the sweetness and the sorrow

Shoo-be-do-do, shoo-be-do-do

(If you just stay awhile, stay awhile with me)

But just give this thing a chance and stay

Shoo-be-do-do-do

It's alright, girl, that's all

(Ooh-ooh-ooh...)

Stay with me

Won't you stay awhile with me

And let my love light your fire

Love is sweet and always mellow

I know it feels good to love, baby, baby

Don't it feel good to love, angel

Now, ooh...

Stay awhile with me

Won't you stay awhile with me

And let my love light your fire

Can't get enough of your love

Your love, stay awhile

Can't get enough of your love

Your love, stay awhile...
