baby, stay with me tonight
baby, soothe me like an orphan child
this word's on fire, the crooks and the liars
are bribing our souls and robbing our lives
they come to haunt us
in dreams where they taunt us
and they don't tell us everything has it's price

baby, stay with me tonight
baby, say it well be alright

fairy tales tell you a good man will find you
and love will be the key to paradise
girls they believe it, if they want to feel needed
they're so afraid to lead a lonely life

locked in the shadows of doubt
secrets are afraid of the light
forever searching for the spirit
we keep hidden inside

baby, stay with me tonight
baby, take me in your arms tonight
this world's on fire, we're caught in a mire
and we don't know what to believe anymore
men built their towers of hatred and power
and we don't know what all the suffering is for

locked in the shadows of doubt
secrets are afraid of the light
forever searching for the spirit
hidden deep in our hearts

baby, stay with me
