I need a little 'cause I lost a lot
I'm in the red and my luck is shot
I oughta leave but i'd rather not
Baby, let me stay the night
Honey, let me stay the night

I took a tumble when you left me, dear
I heard a rumble then you dissapeared
I'm in the jungle and it's gettin' weird
Baby, let me stay the night
Honey, let me stay the night

I wouldn't ask to borrow anything
I'd fix the chain on that rusty swing
I might even teach your bird to sing
If you let me stay the night

I'd do anything you ask me to
Even swim across the ocean blue
Can't you see I've taken off my shoes?
Baby, let me stay the night
Honey, let me stay the night
Mama, let me stay the night
Have mercy, let me stay the night

Being lonely it ain't nothing new
I'd be happy being lonely with you
I know you got a bed and it's built for two
Honey, let me stay the night
