Can It Stay Lyrics

It's been a long time since I been up in your room
Such fun memories of makin' love to you
I see you got a new bed, you wanna break it in soon
Just two hours ago, you sang a different tune, said

You ain't gonna give in to me like that
No matter how much I'm wanting you and I respected you, baby
And now your tryin' to pull me while you're laying on your back
What am I gonna do? Can it stay?

Can it stay the way it was?
Say goodnight and only hug?
'Cause if we make love, we don't know what's to come
You're my only friend and I wanna keep you one

Can it stay the way it was?
Say goodnight and only hug?
'Cause if we make love, we don't know what's to come
You're my only friend and I wanna keep you one

Only hugs
Only, only hugs

I'm startin' to sweat and I'm losin' control
I think I should leave, don't need a robe
Now you wanna be a naughty girl, got me caught up in your naughty world
Baby

Stop, don't, stop, don't
Stop, baby, stop
I thought we moved on and we could be friends
But just lookin' at you makes me want you again

Can it stay the way it was?
(Baby, baby, baby, baby)
Say goodnight and only hug?
'Cause if we make love, we don't know what's to come
You're my only friend and I wanna keep you one
(I don't want to fuss and fight with you, baby)

Can it stay the way it was?
(The way it was yesterday)
Say goodnight and only hug?
(You know, when I didn't have to pay)
'Cause if we make love, we don't know what's to come
(For makin' good love to you)
You're my only friend and I wanna keep you one

Let's wait a while, don't move so fast
(Oh baby, please don't move so fast)
Girl, I miss you too, one more minute, girl, and I won't ask
(I miss you)
Been there before, you know me, I know you
(We been there, you know me, I know you)
Will there be regrets if we make love, what we gonna do?

Can it stay the way it was?
Say goodnight and only hug?
'Cause if we make love, we don't know what's to come
(Can we say goodnight, say goodnight to you, bye, bye, bye)
You're my only friend and I wanna keep you one
(Bye, bye, bye)

Can it stay the way it was?
(I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna break us up)
Say goodnight and only hug?
(I wanna stay in love, baby)
'Cause if we make love, we don't know what's to come
('Cause I know you and you know me)
You're my only friend and I wanna keep you one
(If we make love, to me what's it gonna be?)

(Only hugs)
Only hugs, that's all we need, that's all we need
But baby, you 'bout to make me, you 'bout to make me
(Only hugs)
Go down, go down on you
Go down on you, baby, only hugs, only hugs

Stop, hey, you said it wouldn't be like this
You said it wouldn't be like this, oh, oh

Gerald Levert (July 13 1966 - November 10 2006) was an rhythm and blues singer, one of several from the musical Levert family. His father, Eddie Levert, is the lead singer of the 1970s soul group The O'Jays. Gerald Levert sang with his brother, Sean Levert, and Marc Gordon in the R&B trio LeVert. He was also a member of LSG, an R&B trio also featuring Johnny Gill and Keith Sweat

During the 1980s and early 1990s, Levert scored big hits with "Pop, Pop, Pop, Pop (Goes My Mind)", "Casanova", and "ABC-123" (not to be confused with the Jackson Five hit of the same name). As a solo artist, Gerald's hits included "I'd Give Anything (to Fall in Love)", "You Got That Love", and "Mr. Too Damn Good to You".

Gerald and Eddie collaborated together on many different occasions, and they recorded an album called Father and Son together.

Gerald Levert also sang the chorus on the Chris Rock spoken-word comedy piece, "No Sex (In the Champagne Room)".

In 2005, Levert's daughter Carlysia was featured on an episode of MTV's My Super Sweet Sixteen.

Levert passed away due to an apparent heart attack on November 10, 2006. Sister 2 Sister magazine reported that Gerald and his father had just returned from a 10-day trip to South Africa where they had met with Nelson Mandela and were treated like royalty. Upon Gerald's return, he was excited about his upcoming album, which is due early in 2007. Gerald died in his sleep. Read more on Last.fm.
