Stay a little longer, take a little longer
To pack up your bags, you're movin' too fast
Make me wanna hate you, so I don't have to miss you
Oh, make a mistake, so someone's to blame

I can't stand these four walls without you inside them
Build us a castle, then leave me in silence
What if I tangled some rope 'round your feet
Into the ocean? 'Cause I'm in too deep

Please, won't you stay, stay a little longer, babe?
Don't walk away when I'm here callin' your name
I'm fragile, I'm speechless, don't leave me in pieces
Already havin' enough trouble breathin'
Please, won't you stay, stay a little longer, babe?

Walk a little slower, stand a little closer
So I can convince you the minute I kiss you
Speak a little softer, so I don't have to answer
And make it okay before you can say

I can't stand these four walls without you inside them
Build us a castle, then leave me in silence
What if I tangled some rope 'round your feet
Into the ocean? 'Cause I'm in too deep

Please, won't you stay, stay a little longer, babe?
I’ll be okay, you say it’s written all over my face
I'm fragile, I'm speechless, don't leave me in pieces
Already havin' enough trouble breathin'
Please, won't you stay, stay a little longer, babe?
Oh-oh
Babe

Stay a little longer, take a little longer
To pack up your bags, you're movin' too fast
Make me wanna hate you, so I don't have to miss you
Oh, make a mistake, so someone's to blame

Please, won't you stay, stay a little longer, babe?
I'll be okay, you say it's written all over my face
I'm fragile, I'm speechless, don't leave me in pieces
Already havin' enough trouble breathin'
Please, won't you stay, stay a little longer, babe?
Oh-oh
