Lyrics of Stay With Me by Meryl Streep

verse

What did I clearly say?
Children must listen
No, please!
What were you not to do?
Children must see
No!

verse

And learn
Why could you not obey?
Children should listen
What have I been to you?
What would you have me be?
Handsome like a prince?

verse

Ah, but I am old
I am ugly
I embarass you
No!
You are ashamed of me
No!
You are ashamed
You don't understand

verse

I'm no longer a child
I wish to see the world

verse

Don't you know what's out there in the world?
Someone has to shield you from the world
Stay with me
Princes wait there in the world, it's true
Princes, yes, but wolves and humans, too
Stay at home
I am home

verse

Who out there could love you more than I?
What out there that I cannot supply?
Stay with me
Stay with me
Our world is dark and wild
Stay a child while you can be a child
With me

verse

I gave you protection
And yet, you disobeyed me
No! Y-
Your prince will never lay eyes on you again
He will never lay eyes on anything again
What did you do to him?
It doesn't matter
Because where you're going
No one will ever see you again!

outro

No!
No!
No!
Writer(s): William Edward Phillips, James John Napier, Thomas Earl Petty, Jeff Lynne, Samuel Frederick Smith
