__Stay With Me Lyrics__
Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man These nights never seem to go to plan I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?

Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love it's clear to see But darling, stay with me

Why am I so emotional? No it's not a good look, gain some self control And deep down I know this never works But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt

Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love it's clear to see But darling, stay with me

Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love it's clear to see But darling, stay with me

Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love it's clear to see But darling, stay with me

__Im Not The Only One Lyrics__
You and me, we made a vow For better or for worse I can't believe you let me down But the proof's in a way it hurts

For months on end I've had my doubts Denying every tear I wish this would be over now But I know that I still need you here

You say I'm crazy 'Cause you don't think I know what you've done But when you call me baby I know I'm not the only one

You've been so unavailable Now sadly I know why Your heart is unobtainable Even though Lord knows you kept mine

You say I'm crazy 'Cause you don't think I know what you've done But when you call me baby I know I'm not the only one

I have loved you for many years Maybe I am just not enough You've made me realize my deepest fear By lying and tearing us up

You say I'm crazy 'Cause you don't think I know what you've done But when you call me baby I know I'm not the only one

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: proxnov-reg,arial,sans-serif;">You say I'm crazy 'Cause you don't think I know what you've done But when you call me baby I know I'm not the only one I know I'm not the only one I know I'm not the only one And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, and I know, know I know I'm not the only one media type="youtube" key="nCkpzqqog4k" width="560" height="315"
