1. [Intro / Extended Groove] (Deep, slow-walking bassline with warm analog synth atmosphere) (32 bars of pure instrumental buildup) (Soft, deep ad-libs: "Yeah... stay with me... it's a long night...") 2. [Verse 1] I've only seen you once or twice And each time, it's been so romantic I tried to hold back my feelings But somehow, I just can't help it The way you look tonight, it's something new A feeling in my heart I never knew 3. [Verse 2] I don't like playing games, no, no You see, one-night stands just ain't my vein I want to love you, squeeze you, tease you girl I want to see you every night and hold you tight I'm searching for a love that's built to last Forget the lonely shadows of the past 4. [Pre-Chorus] (Group Harmony - Tight, low-register rhythmic delivery) Being together keeps me sane Takes me from the darkness all away I feel so safe and warm Say you'll stay and never go away 5. [Chorus] (Full Lush Harmony - Grand, wide and melodic) Let's stay together Better together Let's keep our love anew Let's meet each other Stay with me, I don't ever want to be without you 6. [Music Break - Synth & Bass Solo] (16 bars of melodic synthesizer soloing over a heavy funk pocket) 7. [Verse 3 - New Lyrics] The shadows dancing on the bedroom wall Waiting for the moment that you fall... into my arms We’ve got the time, no need to rush the night Everything we do feels so right I’ll be your anchor in the stormy sea Just lean your heart and soul right here on me 8. [Pre-Chorus] (Group Harmony - Tight and soulful) Being together keeps me sane Takes me from the darkness all away I feel so safe and warm Say you'll stay and never go away 9. [Chorus - Extended] (Full Lush Harmony - Repeated with more intensity) Let's stay together Better together Let's keep our love anew Let's meet each other Stay with me, I don't ever want to be without you 10. [Bridge 1 - Vocal Refrain] (Lead voice singing low and deep) Once or twice is not the same (Group: No it ain't, no it ain't) Every day is more my thing (Group: More my thing, not the same) The things I feel will still remain in my mind... If you just understood how you make me feel... 11. [Bridge 2 - Long Instrumental Jam] (Instruction: 64 bars of extended instrumental) (Cameo-style melodic guitar riffs and deep synth bass interplay) (The groove settles into a hypnotic, steady rhythm) 12. [Vamp - Climax] (Group Harmony repeating) Stay with me... (Stay with me) Together... (Forever) Don't you ever leave... (Never leave) (Lead ad-libs over the group) 13. [Outro - Final Solo] (Solo Male Vocal - Deep, silky, breathy and emotional) Stay with me, I don't ever... I don't ever want to be without you... (No more lonely nights) Just you and me, together through the night Everything's gonna be alright... (Music slowly strips down to just the bass and a heartbeat drum) (Final whisper: "Stay...") 14. [End] (Final sustained synth chord fades into silence)
