When I called you and said come on over
I just needed some company
I only wanted to cry on your shoulder
That don't mean you can stay with me
Girl, I'm just no ready
To go through all that again
Maybe someday I'll want you to love me
But I'll tell you where and when

You can't stay the night, oh no
This is no way to star a new love affair
You can't stay the night, oh baby
When I'm ready, girl you know, I'll be there
No, you can't
No, you can't
No, you can't
No, you can't stay the night

There ain't a girl who wouldn't feel some temptation
I'm attracted and that's for sure
But it's just too easy, you'll have to be patient
The best is always worth waiting for
Things will work out much better
If you just get in your car and go
And if I feel any different tomorrow
Oh honey, you'll be the first to know

You can't stay the night, oh no
This is no way to star a new love affair
You can't stay the night, oh baby
When I'm ready, girl you know, I'll be there
No, you can't
Things will work out much better
If you just get in your car and go
And if I feel any different tomorrow
Oh honey, you'll be the first to know

No, you can't
No, you can't
No, you can't stay the night
