[Intro] (Sound of rain falling and distant thunder. A smooth electric piano melody plays. A deep spoken-word voice enters over the music.) "Yeah... I never thought we’d end up here. It’s cold outside, baby. But it’s even colder without you. Listen..." [Verse 1] (The beat kicks in—heavy kick drum with a gated snare reverb) When the sun goes down and moon comes up, Another day goes by that I'm lost without your love. You left me standing here outside in the rain, Oh why can't you just try my love again. [Pre-Chorus] (Music swells, harmonies layer in) Ohhhh what do I do Ohhh, I just don't know No more... [Chorus] (Full vocal harmony stack, very melodramatic) Please stay, stay with me tonight Don't go, don't go and leave me here (Baby, I'm begging you) Please stay, stay with me tonight Don't go, don't go and leave me here [Verse 2] (Music strips back to just bass and snap) I'm staring at the pictures on the wall, Sitting by the phone, just waiting for your call. Girl, I never meant to cause you pain, I’m drowning in my tears, just like the falling rain. [Pre-Chorus] (Building up again) Ohhhh what do I do Ohhh, I just don't know No more... [Chorus] (Lead singer ad-libs over the background vocals) Please stay, stay with me tonight (I can't make it on my own, baby!) Don't go, don't go and leave me here Please stay, stay with me tonight (Just one more night, that's all I ask) Don't go, don't go and leave me here [Bridge] (Key change. The beat changes to a triplet feel. Dramatic high notes) I can’t face the morning light alone Without the warmth that we have known! Put down your bags, don't walk out that door I don't want to be lonely anymore! No, no, no! [Guitar Solo] (A soulful, crying electric guitar solo plays for 8 bars while the rain sound effect returns) [Outro] (Fade out. The background vocals repeat the "Stay with me" hook while the lead singer does vocal runs) Please stay, stay with me tonight... (Don't leave me out in the rain, baby) Don't go, don't go and leave me here... (I just don't know what to do) Please stay... (Stay with me...)
