Original Maurice Williams & The Zodiacs version
(Stay) Ah, just a little bit longer (Stay)
(Please) Please, please, please, please tell me you're going to
Now oh your daddy don't mind
And your mommy don't mind
If we have another dance, yeah
Just a-one more (One more time)
Oh, won't you stay just a little bit longer
Please let me hear you say that you will
Say you will
Won't you place your sweet lips to mine
Won't you say you love me all of the time
(Stay) Woah oh yeah, just a little bit longer (Stay)
(Please) Please, please, please, please tell 'em that you're going to
Come on, come on, come on, (Stay) yeah-yeah-yeah
Come on, come on, come on, (Stay) yeah-yeah-yeah
Come on, come on, come on, (Stay) whoops, la di da
Come on, come on, come on, (Stay) ma ma ma ma
Come on, come on, come on, (Stay)...
