She on the sofa, holdin' a remote controller Candles burnin' lower, favorite dish gettin' colder She hot as solar, 'cause I told her I wanna hold her But her mission she sittin' in one position like Yoda A TV show is on to top it off she dead sober Then I open the door up, and kiss her on the shoulder She say I'm rollin', like Mr. Lover Lover We had a hard day, ready to parlay My thirsts they obey everything that God say Okay let's play awhile and I'll embrace your style So much flavor I can taste your smile, stay awhile Stay a little while Stay a little while, child You don't know nothing then no cry, stay a little while Stay a little while, child Uh, that's don't need Stay a little while Stay a little while, child Why don't you, stay a little while Stay a little while, child You don't know nothing then no cry
