Letra de
Stay

La canción Stay fue coescrita por Mikky Ekko y Justin Parker. Rihanna decidió grabarla después de escuchar la versión demo que Ekko había enviado. La canción expresa una complejidad emocional que aborda la cercanía y la distancia en una relación tumultuosa.

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
Ohhhh 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 stayyyyy

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
Ohhhhh 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 stayyyyyyyyyy

Ooooohhhh the reason I hold on
Ooooohhhh 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
It takes me all the way
I want you to stayyyyyyyyyy
Stayyyyyyyyyyy
I want you to stay
Ohhhhhh
