Will, you, stay, just a little while, babe?

Just a little while, just a little while, just a little while

Will, you, stay, just a little while, babe?

Just a little while, just a little while, just a, just a little while

Yeah, hold up, wait a motherfuckin' second

I know you stressin', you don't gotta keep me guessin'

I'm full of questions, in return I get the silent treatment

I don't know why I'm speakin'

You say, you say, you say

It's way too late, goodbye, you leavin'

Why you got me stressin'?

I could have a whole collection

Just be faded in my own dimension

You so complicated, I swear that pussy Grammy nominated

Let's make some music, fuck all of the bullshit

Will, you, stay, just a little while, babe?

Just a little while, just a little while, just a little while

Will, you, stay, just a little while, babe?

Just a little while, just a little while, just a, just a little while

Okay now, baby, don't you leave my side, don't even try

I'mma go crazy, girl, you saved me

Meditate me, get me piece of mind

It's only she and I, ocean floor, how deep we dive

We be high lookin' for another fuckin' tree to climb

She was playin' hard to get, I read between her lines

Binge watched "Sopranos", made it all the way to season five

I am her, she is I

She had to come, see her freaky side, leavin' me behind

Will, you, stay, just a little while, babe?

Just a little while, just a little while, just a little while

Will, you, stay, just a little while, babe?

Just a little while, just a little while, just a, just a little while

...

Just a little while, just a little while, babe

The way you walkin' to the room, oh oh oh

All I think about is what I wanna do to you

I don't wanna be polite no more

Make yourself at home, where the fuck you gon' go?

Yeah, girl, the way you walkin' to the room, oh oh oh

All I think about is what I wanna do to you

I don't wanna be polite no more

Make yourself at home, where the fuck you gon' go, girl?

Will, you, stay, just a little while, babe?

Just a little while, just a little while, just a little while

Will, you, stay, just a little while, babe?

(The way you walkin' to the room, oh oh oh

All I think about is what I wanna do to you)

Just a little while, just a little while, just a, just a little while

(I don't wanna be polite no more

Make yourself at home, where the fuck you gon' go?)

Will, you, stay, just a little while, babe?

((The way you walkin' to the room, oh oh oh

All I think about is what I wanna do to you)

Just a little while, just a little while, just a little while

(I don't wanna be polite no more

Make yourself at home, where the fuck you gon' go?)

Will, you, stay, just a little while, babe?

Just a little while, just a little while, just a, just a little while

Will you

Will you

...

Will you
