STAY BY MY SIDE

Cornell G. Mack 1955 (Washington DC)



You've taken yourself away from me and it's all because of my SITUATION
stay by my side I need your INSPIRATION

I know how much you loved me and this is why I thought you'd WAIT
I don't want to lose you so it's now in the hands of FATE

I knew you were going to cut us off at some point and TIME
when we met each other it was all by DESIGN

I'm so glad I got this chance to see you here TONIGHT
I'd like to dance again and really hold you TIGHT

I know you came out tonight to have a good TIME
I'd like to dance again that's if you don't MIND

I'm not going to pressure you with the things I've already SAID
Holding you like this you know You're still in my HEAD

I'm not asking you to go against what you BELIEVE
but we can't ignore the fact that a child been CONCEIVED

You didn't know I knew that I can tell by the look in your EYES
but I'm not going to desert you I'm going to stay by your SIDE

My situation no longer exists let me hold you a little tighter and show you who I MISS

Doing the right thing by you is the way It's supposed to BE
That's why I'm extending my hand will you come back to ME
