Here I am baby, right back in your arms, yeah
What is it `bout your love that draws me to you
And though this is not the first time I`ve ever wanted to get away, no
Oh, but the magic of your love just would not let me stray
So I find that I just can`t stay away from you, baby, (from you) ooh, yeah
You see, I just can`t stay away from you
Let me tell you I`ve been through a lot of changes
You see, my Momma scorned me and my closest friends
Oh Lord, you know they warned me
They said you`re no good for me, but I just ignored it
Yes I did, `cause I didn`t have time, no time to sit around and
decide what to do
You know, when someone controls your mind
There`s not much you can do
So you see that`s why I (just can`t) just can`t stay away (stay away)
Oh, oh (from you) from you, oh Baby
Hold me Darling, hold (just can`t) me Darling, I can`t stay away
from (stay away) you
I don`t wanna (from you) from you
I`ve tried and I`ve tried, and I`ve tried, I`ve tried and I`ve
tried, and I`ve tried, Baby
(When you come close to me, yeah)
I remember, I can remember somebody said it
They said it many, many, many (when you come close to me, yeah) years ago
That when love gets in your blood, you`ll find it`s hard to let go
And oh, I (just can`t) Baby, I (stay away)
Can`t (from you) you see it in my eyes
`Cause I`m wanting you, needing you, ho
Baby, I (just can`t) I don`t wanna (stay away)
Stay away (from you) from you
From you, you, you, you, you
It`s not in my power to leave you
You control the soul in me and I
(Just can`t) That`s exactly why I (stay away)
Can`t stay away (from you) from you
Oh `cause I`m wanting you, needing you, loving you
Baby, I`m down on my knees, (I just can`t) hold me Darling
I`m (Stay away) begging you please, hold me, Darling
(From you) `Cause I just can`t stay from you, baby, no, no...
