Make Me Stay Lyrics

Cover art for Make Me Stay lyrics by Ani DiFranco

She's saying to her/him (it could easily be either, neither one is more likely), that she wants more than for them just to like her/love her/be with her.

She wants them to crave her, to NEED her. She wants to grab this thing they have together by the horns and run with it, not just leave it to meander along, as she says "love is loose it shifts each time you move" and "this could be our last night".
