Текст песни Emma Wallace - stay with me tonight

The streetlamps try to do their best
But the light's faded in the west
It's like a night straight out of Poe
And one I'd hate to be alone
But with my ego at full mast
I cannot bring myself to ask you...

Chorus:
Baby, stay with me tonight
It's a while before the light will win
And I'd love to have you here to tuck me in, oh,
Baby, I hate to be needy
It's just the shadows seem kind of seedy
And I'm begging you to stay here with me

I never liked those girls who cling
Needing a man for everything
With batted eyes and pouts intent
They bask in attention spent
But one thing I envy in their bask
They wouldn't hesitate to ask you...

Chorus

I've been the same girl all along
Too independent proud and strong
More like an island and a rock
Than like a pillow or a dock
But sometimes strength is just a mask
And that's why tonight, my love, I ask you...
