RIHANNA - STAY
Featuring Mikky Ekko
All Along It Was A Fever
A Cold Sweat Hot-Headed Believer
I Threw My Hands In The Air, Said "Show Me Something"
He Said "If You Dare, Come A Little Closer"
Round And Around And Around And Around We Go
Oh-Oh Now Tell Me Now Tell Me Now Tell Me Now You Know
Not Really Sure How To Feel About It
Something In The Way You Move
Makes Me Feel Like I Can't Live Without You
It Takes Me All The Way, I Want You To Stay
It's Not Much Of A Life You're Living
It's Not Just Something You Take, It's Given
Round And Around And Around And Around We Go
Oh-Oh Now Tell Me Now Tell Me Now Tell Me Now You Know
Not Really Sure How To Feel About It
Something In The Way You Move
Makes Me Feel Like I Can't Live Without You
It Takes Me All The Way, I Want You To Stay
Ooh, Ooh-Ooh The Reason I Hold On
Ooh, Ooh-Ooh 'Cause I Need This Hole Gone
Funny You're The Broken One
But I'm The Only One Who Needed Saving
'Cause When You Never See The Lights
It's Hard To Know Which One Of Us Is Caving
Not Really Sure How To Feel About It
Something In The Way You Move
Makes Me Feel Like I Can't Live Without You
It Takes Me All The Way, I Want You To Stay
Hey-Hey, Hey, Stay, Aye-Aye-Aye-Aye
I Want You To Stay, Ooh-Ooh
