Will You Love Me - Matthew E. White

Baby, will you love me?

Child, will you hold me?

Will you lay beside me

At least most of the night?

Baby, you’re magnificent

Child, you’re intelligent

Honey, you could pay the rent

With that smile on your face

But this loneliness, it won’t leave me alone

It’s such a drag to be on your own

Baby, you left and you didn’t say why

Mostly darkness in my mind

Sometimes it leaves me, sometimes it leaves me behind

And maybe I can see you soon

Tell you all the things that I meant to

See you shinin' like the golden sun

Puttin' everyone to shame

I’ll put my arms around you all night long, baby

I’ll kiss you head to toe, I’ll sing you a song, baby

I’ll rock with you from side to side

I’ll rock with you until the day we die

But this loneliness, it won’t leave me alone

It’s such a drag to be on your own

Baby, you left and you didn’t say why

Mostly darkness in my mind

Sometimes it leaves me, sometimes it leaves me behind

Darkness can’t drive out darkness

Only love can do that, baby

Only love can do that

And this loneliness, it won’t leave me alone

It’s such a drag to be on your own

Baby, you left and you didn’t say why

Mostly darkness in my mind

Sometimes it leaves me, sometimes it leaves me behind

And baby, when things ain’t right

You need someone to stay the night

I’ll be there till the morning light

And longer if you need
