[English]

You give me my birthday kiss

I gave you a pill, said, "You'll get high off of this"

You hit a few parties that night

I stayed where I was 'cause I hope that you'd come and find me

See in your eyes, you just went through war

Whatever it was broke your heart

You dip your toes back in, take it slow

Well, I'm nothing like what you had before, so

Already deep in my bed, baby

Why don't you stay over?

Know we've been bendin' my rules lately

But why don't you stay over?

Fall hard, I know it's fast

You just left her, that's the past

Already deep in my bed, naked

So why don't you stay, stay, stay, stay over?

So why don't you stay, stay, stay over?

You give me my birthday kiss

I give you a night that you will never forget

I know that you plan to be free for a while

But you can be free with me, I've been where you are

See in your eyes, you just went through war

Whatever it was broke your heart

You dip your toes back and take it slow

Well, I'm nothing like what you had before, so

Already deep in my bed, baby

Why don't you stay over?

Know we've been bendin' my rules lately

But why don't you stay over?

Fall hard, I know it's fast

You just left her, that's the past

Already deep in my bed, naked (yeah)

So why don't you stay, stay, stay, stay over?

(Why don't you? Why don't you?)

So why don't you stay, stay, stay over?

(Why don't you? Why don't you?)

Don't back away from this, don't back away

I know it's intense losing your senses in this love

So don't back away from me

So don't back away from me, don't back away

No, 'cause what we have, I've never felt before, so

Already deep in my bed, baby

Why don't you stay over?

Know we've been bendin' my rules lately

But why don't you stay over?

Fall hard, I know it's fast

You just left her, that's the past

Already deep in my bed, naked (Yeah)

So why don't you stay, stay, stay, stay over?

(Why don't you? Why don't you?)

So why don't you stay, stay, stay over?

(Why don't you? Why don't you?)
