Ladyphase Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Hi, I googled for songs called Stay With Me. Now I remember hearing this before. I'm confused about these lyrics. Is the character starting an emotionally unhealthy relationship? Or is he just confused? Or what? I feel like I don't have quite enough information. Lyrics: Guess it's true I'm not good at a one night stand But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man These nights never seem to go to plan I don't want you to leave Will you hold my hand Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love, it's clear to see But darling, stay with me Why am I so emotional? No, it's not a good look, gain some self control Deep down I know this never works But you could lay with me So it doesn't hurt Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love, it's clear to see But darling, stay with me Oooh oh ooh oooh ooooh oh Oooh oh ooh oooh ooooh oh Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love, it's clear to see But darling, stay with me Oh, wont you stay with me 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love its clear to see But darling Stay with me Link to comment
Tinydance Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 You know, I actually used to be obsessed with Sam Smith about five years ago. I even thought I was " in love" with him and thought what a pity it was that he's/they're gay. Because otherwise I would have totally had a chance with him 😂 I used to play his music on repeat all the time. I was lucky I was able to get a ticket to his live concert that someone was re-selling. Otherwise the show was completely sold out. Anyway, so I'm pretty sure this song is about a one night stand? Link to comment
Tinydance Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Basically I think he's saying he had a one night stand, but he's really lonely and wants company. So he's singing: " This ain't love, it's clear to see, but won't you stay with me". I think he's saying "just act like we're into each other and it wasn't just meaningless sex". Link to comment

Sounds like he's treating this encounter like a tylenol. Link to comment
EmDub Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I think he is feeling lonely. He just wants company. He feels hes is not good at one night stands and that he messes up that sort of thing, but he wants the intimacy with someone. Almost wishing he had someone to stay with him to be close to.

mylolita Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Oh my God not Sam Smith - instead listen to anything by The Smiths! You’ll find some real lyrics right there ;) Lo x Link to comment
SherrySher Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Lol, Lo...that gave me a giggle. I hope you're doing well and that your little one is doing well. x My interpretation of this song is that he is desperate for love and for intimacy with someone that loves him, but he doesn't have that. All he has is a stranger who is willing to have a one night stand with him and a meaningless encounter. But he is pretending that it means something, anything...because of how desperately lonely he is. It's a pretty sad song to be honest. Link to comment
