[English]

Should you stay? Should you go? You're beginning to see 

I blow hot, I blow cold It's just the devil in me 

You've got to understand, I am In love with a beautiful man 

So if you're feeling insecure You've really got no cause to be 

I want you near me, don't you turn away (Just got) just got used to having you around 

I want you near me, come on here and stay (Don't let me down) don't let me down 

(Don't let me down) You're  

so good with your hands To help me with a hook or a zip 

Indispensable, that's what you are For the occasional kiss 

I'm only playing games with you I can't be nice without being cruel 

I know it's not fair, but I make the rules I want you near me, don't you run away 

(Just got) just got used to having you around I want you near me, come on here and stay 

(Don't let me down) don't let me down (Don't let me down) don't let me down 

I want you near me, baby 

All I want, I've decided Is your attention undivided 

I want you near me, oh, don't turn away I want you near me, oh, won't you stay? 

I want you near me, don't you run away (Just got) I just got used to having you around 

I want you near me, come on here and stay (Don't let me down) don't let me down 

(Don't let me down) don't let me down I want you near me, baby 

Don't turn away  

(don't you turn away) 

I want you near  

me, baby (come and stay) 

Come on and stay Whoa (want  

you near me, don't turn away) Want you near me, baby
