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



(when you come close to me, yeah)



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



(just can't) that's exactly why i (stay away)



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...
