Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand

These nights never seem to go to plan
Am F C
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?

Won't you stay with me?

This ain't love it's clear to see

But darling, stay with me
Verse:
Am F C
Why am I so emotional?

No it's not a good look, gain some self control

And deep down I know this never works
Am F C
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt
Chorus -x3-:
Am F C
Won't you stay with me?
