Rihanna - Stay Lyrics
Lyrics Translation
Written by Mikky Ekko, Justin Parker, and Rihanna, “Stay” from Unapologetic (2012) is a soulful ballad about vulnerability and a complex, unresolvable relationship, where both partners are unwilling to let go despite the pain.
Song lyrics
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 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
And 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 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
And it takes me all the way
And 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 light 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
And it takes me all the way
I want you to stay, stay
I want you to stay, ooh
