Stay The Night

Wow, I can't believe nobody has commented on this song, it's so great!! Her voice is astounding as usual, when she hits those high notes, WOW! Well to me, this song is about her feeling this guy who has a girl already, but he keeps telling her to stay the night with him..and she is really tempted.

This is a cute song, heartfelt though. I tend to think he's always talking about the same guy, in "Breakdown", "Crybaby", "Subtle Invitation", and this one...it's a relationship that is over, but in her mind and in her heart there are remains of it. And it happens to me as well, even though you know it's terribly wrong for you and will only make the wound deeper, the temptation of it might be huge for you to resist... You can feel the longing and he pain in her voice, in this remarkably good song.

songmeanings.net must really get it act together, half the songs here are "removed" and it got worse after the recent changes. Well, Lyrics:

You're kissin' me and sayin' I'm the one you need To keep you warm ad lay with you tonight Baby, I feel the same way, I don't want to leave Wanna hold you close and feel your love inside But I don't wanna play myself 'Cause I know you're with someone else And I don't need complications in my life And I don't wanna fall back in And get caught up in you again Boy, I'm so conflicted in my mind

And you keep sayin' stay the night Just let me rock you till the mornin' light It's cold outside and much too late to drive You know I need you baby, I'm so lost without your love

Obviously, procrastinatin' just to be Close to you a little longer now, boy It's hard for me to break away from you, baby Never could resist you and I still haven't learned how And I don't wanna be a fool But it's hard when it comes to you And I'm feelin' vulnerable tonight 'Cause I don't wanna miss the chance Of relivin' our sweet romance Boy, I'm so confused down deep inside

You keep sayin' stay the night Just let me rock you till the mornin' light It's cold outside and much too late to drive You know I need you baby, I'm so lost without your love

You keep sayin' stay the night Just let me rock you till the mornin' light It's cold outside and much too late to drive You know I need you baby, I'm so lost without your love (yeah yeah) You keep on saying And you keep on saying baby And you keep on keep on keep on saying (Repeat) Stay the night

Sounds like she's with an ex that reconnected with her. The chemistry is still there; although, he has a new girl. She wants to "stay the night", but she knows it's probably not the best decision. It's about the temptation of going back to an ex, only she added a promiscuous story behind it.

Agreed, sodeepx3! Her best songs, at least for me, are like this - Straightforward, entrancing, and displaying her solo vocal talents to the max. The final "your love" in the song is fantastic - a real climax!

The lyrics are exactly as you've described, so wonderfully simple, and no need for curse words (no guest "rappers" here, thank heavens)

And such a chill song! A Soul feel which she understood, and it shows in her voice quite clearly on ths track.

Really catchy too, moreso than many of her singles and videos and boring ballads (I always skip these)
