Stay Lyrics
[AMÉLIE]
Stay where you are
Don't come too close, and don't go too far
I'll make you count to 100 so I have a good chance to hide
Don't expect me to play fair
Move in, I move even deeper inside
I like you right there
I like you right there
Stay
[AMÉLIE & NINO]
I hear you coming
[AMÉLIE]
What can I do to
[AMÉLIE & NINO]
Drown out this drumming
[AMÉLIE]
No turning back now that you took the breadcrumbs
And I lost the away
And arrows fall out of thin air
Don't expect me to play fair
If I could just find the right words to say
Would you stay right there
I like you right there!
Stay where you are
Don't come too close, and don't go too far
I'll make you count to 100 so I have a good chance to hide
Don't expect me to play fair
Move in, I move even deeper inside
I like you right there
I like you right there
Stay
[AMÉLIE & NINO]
I hear you coming
[AMÉLIE]
What can I do to
[AMÉLIE & NINO]
Drown out this drumming
[AMÉLIE]
No turning back now that you took the breadcrumbs
And I lost the away
And arrows fall out of thin air
Don't expect me to play fair
If I could just find the right words to say
Would you stay right there
I like you right there!
[AMÉLIE & NINO]
Stay
Stay
Stay
[AMÉLIE]
Stay where you are!
Safe in a frame
Try to move closer, you'll only get halfway!
Pin down your heart, put out the flame
Don't come any closer
[AMÉLIE & NINO]
But don't move away!
Stay
Stay
Stay
[AMÉLIE]
Stay where you are!
Safe in a frame
Try to move closer, you'll only get halfway!
Pin down your heart, put out the flame
Don't come any closer
[AMÉLIE & NINO]
But don't move away!
[AMÉLIE] Stay where you are! Safe in a frame Try to move closer You'll only get halfway! Pin down your heart, put out the flame Don't come any closer But don't move away! Stay Stay Stay! | [NINO] Stay where you are! Pin down your heart! Don't move away! Stay Stay |
