[Verse 1]
Gm      F        C             Bb
Another morning, you are on my mind
Eb                       Bb          F
Takin' up my time throughout the day
Gm       F        C        Bb
I try controllin' images I see
Eb                         Bb           F
Always you with me, that's in my dreams
Gm          F      C              Bb
You give me fever, love I can't explain
Eb                     Bb             F
Fire uncontained, what is this, girl?
Gm       F      C           Bb
I try to fight, but I never win
Eb                      Bb           F
Seems I just give in to your embrace


[Chorus]
    Eb      F   Gm             F
But oh, you try so hard not to say
Eb      F   Gm               F       Eb
Oh, all the things you do to me, and girl, oh
    F  Gm               F
Oh, my love can't be concealed
Eb
Girl, you know the deal
C               F    Gm
Baby, stay with me tonight

[Verse 2]
Gm     F         C                 Bb
At my apartment, you'd come to the door
Eb                  Bb       F
Quarter after four AM, hello
Gm          F     C                Bb
We start to kiss, ooh, we start to neck
Eb                                Bb            F
You know what comes next, and you love it, girl


[Chorus]
    Eb       F  Gm               F
But oh, what we have it feels so good
Eb      F  Gm                F          Eb
Oh, and we both knew that it would, and girl, oh
    F   Gm            F
Oh, the feeling is so right
Eb
Please come hold me tight
C               F    Eb
Baby, stay with me tonight
       F   Gm              F
'Cause you give me special joy
Eb       F  Gm               F          Eb
Oh, make me feel just like a schoolboy, girl, oh
     F  Gm            F
Give me feelings of delight
Eb
Please turn out the light
C               F    Cm7
Baby, stay with me tonight


[Bridge]
         Gm7
'Cause I love ya
Cm7                  Gm7
You know I really do love ya, girl
F                       Am7
It's been my innermost fantasy
Eb           Bb          Eb              F               Gm
To share and care and to give my love to you through the night

[Verse 3]
Gm          F      C             Bb
You call me crazy, maybe that is true
Eb                   Bb             F
But what can I do? I love you, girl
Gm       F      C           Bb
I try to fight, but I never win
Eb                      Bb           F
Seems I just give in to your embrace


[Chorus]
    Eb      F Gm             F
But oh, oh, I pray you never leave
Eb         F  Gm                 F          Eb
Oh, 'cause my heart would surely grieve so, girl, oh
    F   Gm               F
And you know I would not lie
Eb
Girl, you are my pride
C               F    Eb
Baby, stay with me tonight
       F   Gm              F
'Cause you give me special joy
Eb       F  Gm               F          Eb
Oh, make me feel just like a schoolboy, girl, oh
    F   Gm            F
Oh, the feeling is so right
Eb
Please come hold me tight
C               F    Eb   F
Baby, stay with me tonight

Yeaaaahhhhh
