[Verse 1]
It's gotten too late
And I've exceeded the moments
To make you stay — hey baby
I must've been a fool
To run around and not once
Stop to check on you — hey baby, mmm
Now I lost my mind, and I've given up the time
That I could've shared with you
And If I had my way, I would go down on my knees and
Ask my God to make you stay, oh, oh, oh

[Chorus]
I will make you stay, baby
(I'll make you stay)
I will try everything, yeah
I'll go down on my knees
(To make you stay)
I will try everything

[Verse 2]
It's gotten too late
I got caught on the wrong side
And lost my way — hey babe
I stayed gone too long
And never once had the time to
Just pick up the phone and call you, girl
You see, see now I drunk a few
I slept around on you
I pity the fool who would do that to you (Hey)
Now I've lost your trust, and I've embarrassed us
I need somebody to pull me out this mess
[Chorus]
I will make you stay, baby
I'll do it
(I'll make you stay)
I'll do it, baby
I will try everything, everything, yeah
I'll go down on my knees, baby
I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it, yeah
(To make you stay)
I will try everything

[Bridge]
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'll give up everything
You see, I, I need you, baby

[Chorus]
I will make you stay, baby
If you'll give me the chance, baby
(I'll make you stay)
I will try everything, yeah
I would do it, I'll do it for you
I'll go down on my knees, baby
You see, I, I'll go down on my knees
(To make you stay)
I will try everything, oh
[Outro]
Oh, hey, hey
It's getting too late
It's gotten too late
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, ooh, oh, baby
Way too late
