[Chorus]

Stay the night

Even if it's not for real

Stay the night

Only got you for a short time

Going through a hard time

Hoping you could carry my demons part time (My demons, oh)

Asking too much past the basics

Too much, just stay


[Verse 1]

Could it be we're just not right for each other?

You say, "I bare the noose"

We fuck her over, think how?, wondering to myself

How I ruin it this time? Why try?

But you know you're fucking with a diamond

Lost the shine, then do it justice, baby, ew

Heard you tryna build with a new bitch

Can't front, I don't need this now

I can't take no chances when you're manic

You gon' make me go and get my bros on you

Woes on you

Running across my mind, it's kinetic

Connect to you with еase

Ain't no fucking with our timing, yeah, yeah

Closеd on Sunday, gotta get that good God in

Sinning by Monday, you hit it from the side

I can't stand the way you treat me

Can't stand to watch you leave


[Chorus]

Stay the night

Even if it's not for real

Stay the night

Only got you for a short time

Going through a hard time

Hoping you could carry my demons part time

Asking too much past the basics

Too much, just stay


[Verse 2]

I miss you the most when my side do me dirty

You might be a hoe, but you mine so it's okay

I put you on hold, for the money, I can't play

You so touch and go, I can't tell if it's all fake

These bitches don't know you ain't shit, but I won't say

Secret safe with me, fuck in the back of the jeep

Fuck when you had no sheets

How you mad at me? I'm your battery

You should bow to me

Baby girl, you know what they say

"You ain't getting used, then you're fucking useless"

Must be a dummy by the way you do me

Coulda got some money, shoulda utilized me

But this too late, and I'm so straight

And them old ways, and we cold case

I tap into the mmm, weed, yeah

You talking all that shit but I ain't see no real yet

Is you calm?


[Chorus]

Stay the night

Even if it's not for real

Stay the night

Only got you for a short time

Going through a hard time

Hoping you could carry my demons part time

Asking too much past the basics

Too much, just stay
