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
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
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…
