Stay close

Intro (ad-libs)

Yeah, ah — ooh, yeah, baby

Mmm, come on, come close


Verse 1

Late night, city hummin', got your name on replay

Phone light, I’m scrollin', still feel you every day

Your perfume in my head like the echo of a song

Every beat remind me how you make me strong

I been tryna play it cool but my heart don’t wanna lie

Got a pillow talk wish and your picture by my side

Call me needy if you want, I ain’t tryna hide the truth

When the sheets get cold, I just need the warmth of you


Pre-Chorus

Soft whisper, slow touch, let me hear you sayin' mine

Pull me out the darkness, baby, be my light


Chorus

I want you near, right here, don’t ever let me go

Hold me close, real close, let me feel you on my soul

I want you near, right now, don’t leave me in this cold

Stay close, baby, stay close — that’s all I need to know


Post-Chorus (ad-libs)

Mmm, yeah, uh — stay close, yeah

Ooh, right here, baby


Verse 2

Wristwatch tickin' slow, but time stop when you near

Telephone conversations turn into the truth I hear

You the calm to my chaos, my peace in the storm

Your heartbeat sync with mine, that’s the place I call home

I been movin' different ways just tryna earn your trust

But if it’s you and me, I don’t need nothin’ else but us

Let the world do what it do, I’ll protect this flame

Baby lean on my shoulder, girl, don’t worry 'bout the pain


Pre-Chorus

Soft whisper, slow touch, let me hear you sayin' mine

Wrap me in your halo, baby, stay a little time


Chorus

I want you near, right here, don’t ever let me go

Hold me close, real close, let me feel you on my soul

I want you near, right now, don’t leave me in this cold

Stay close, baby, stay close — that’s all I need to know


Bridge (melodic run)

Talk to me, love, tell me what you feel (yeah)

Lay your heart on mine, I’ll keep it real (ooh)

Promise I ain’t leavin’ — I won't disappear (no)

I need you here with me, baby, I need you near (need you near)


Breakdown (soft)

Night turn lighter with your lips on me

Slow motion kisses, make me believe

Girl, you the reason for my clarity

When you’re next to me, I’m finally free


Final Chorus (big)

I want you near, right here, don’t ever let me go

Hold me close, real close, let me feel you on my soul

I want you near, right now, don’t leave me in this cold

Stay close, baby, stay close — that’s all I need to know


Outro (ad-libs)

Mmm, stay close — yeah, uh

Right here with me, baby — ooh, stay close

Ayy, yeah, come on, come close
