Somewhere you're starting to stutter
Somewhere I'm doing just the same
And it's me that stands in the waiting room for your love
And it's me that writes a thousand times in my blood

Why won't you stay a while
Why won't you stay for a while

Take it all, the lion-stance in your words
And make it all for the roses and for the birds
You, like me, are only thirsty for love
Roll up your sleeves girl love takes a push and a shove

Why won't you stay a while
Why won't you stay for a while

And it first touched me when I saw your face
And it takes me to the highest, to the highest place
Whoa and it takes me to the highest, to the highest place

Somewhere you're starting to stutter
Now I am doing just the same
You, like me, are only thirsty for love
Roll up your sleeves girl love's like a hand in a glove

Why won't you stay a while
Why won't you stay a while
Why won't you stay a while
