Come on up, mind your head
Leave your coat on the bed
We can talk
Tell me why can't I just ask her if she'll stay the
night?
Have a drink, no it's dry
Cigarette? Nor do I
Shall we dance?
Tell me why can't I just ask her if she'll stay the
night?
(Stay the night, stay the night...)
There's just one thing that I want to do
Stay the night with you
But all I do is waste my time
Messing with silly talk and too much wine
My mind is in a whirl, 'cos all I want to say is
Girl, why don't you stay the night?
I don't dare to ask her if she'll stay the night
Ten to ten? Surely not
Oh it's slow, no it's fast, I forgot
Some more wine, what's your sign?
Tell me why can't I just ask her if she'll stay the
night?
Can I just ask her if she'll stay the night?
(Stay the night, stay the night...)
There's just one thing that I want to do
Stay the night with you
But all I do is waste my time
Messing with silly talk and too much wine
My mind is in a whirl, 'cos all I want to say is
Girl, why don't you stay the night?
I don't dare to ask her if she'll stay the night
Girl, why don't you stay the night?
I don't dare to ask her if she'll stay the night
Stay the night
I don't dare to ask her if she'll stay the night
Stay the night
I don't dare to ask her if she'll stay the night
