My All / Stay Awhile (So So Def Remix) Lyrics by Mariah Carey

Butterfly (Deluxe Edition)

1998

[Spoken Intro: Mariah Carey]
I told you Jermaine likes it
Then I like it
[Intro: Mariah Carey]
Don't leave, don't, don't leave
(So So Def, MC like what)
Don't leave, don't, don't leave
(Uh-uh, uh-uh, JD like what)
Don't leave, don't, don't leave
(Uh-uh, uh-uh, Lord Tariq like what)
Don't leave, don't, don't leave
(Uh-uh, uh-uh, Peter Gunz like what)
Don't leave, don't, don't leave
(Uh-uh, uh-uh, [?] like what)
Don't leave, don't, don't leave
(Uh-uh, uh-uh, and Uptown, play play on)
(Sounds cute, play play on)
Don't leave, don't, don't leave
(DX play play on, come on)
(74, play play on, come on)
Don't leave, don't, don't leave
(MC, play play on)
[Verse 1: Mariah Carey & Jermaine Dupri]
I am thinking of you (that's right)
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it's wrong to love you (I like that)
Then my heart just won't let me be right
'Cause I've drowned in you
And I won't pull through
Without you by my side (oh yeah)
[Chorus: Mariah Carey & Jermaine Dupri]
I'd give my all to have (my all)
Just one more night with you
I'd risk my life to feel (yeah, uh-huh)
Your body next to mine
'Cause I can't go on (go on and on)
Living in the memory of our song
I'd give my all for your love tonight (my all, ya heard)
(MC, come on)
[Verse 2: Mariah Carey & Jermaine Dupri]
So put your loving arms (uh)
Around me boy (uh-huh, yeah)
And hold me like I was a cuddly toy (that's right)
Let me feel that warmth of your embrace (uh-huh)
Don't let go (yeah)
'Cause there could be no sadder (no no)
Sight to see (no)
Than if we were to miss this (uh-huh)
Opportunity (so what)
So send me up a signal
And I'll catch the line (yeah)
If there's no time (huh)
You know it's up to you (uh-huh, yeah)
So why don't you
[Hook 2: Mariah Carey & Jermaine Dupri]
Stay a little while, child (Stay)
(Come on)
Stay a little while, child (Stay)
(I like this)
Stay a little while, child (Stay)
Stay a little while, child
(Now let's take it Uptown, get down)
[Verse 4: Peter Gunz & Jermaine Dupri]
Well since you put it that way
Honey I'm gon' stay (yeah)
And only your love could make Peter parlay (uh)
Let the limo leave and cancel the flight
And not only will I stay
Girl I'm spending the night (uh-huh)
And if it's right, I'm spendin' my life
All out and if it seems like I'm rushing
Then I'll sleep on the couch
MC, it's your call
I'm ready to ball
And if you need me I'm ready to brawl
(Uh uh uh)
[Verse 5: Lord Tariq & Mariah Carey]
And that's forever by law
Together we ball
We takin' it all
I'll make you feel a way a woman never felt before
I see women on many levels
Never higher than yours
With a body like that
That face, no flaw
You got to be heaven sent
Sayin' you's a dime
You off to meter and it's evident
You like the way I rhyme
Yes, I shine, I'm a veteran
Picture me and honey spendin' money like whatever then
We both got it
(Why don't you)
[Hook 2: Mariah Carey & Jermaine Dupri]
Stay a little while, child (Stay)
Stay a little while, child (Ooh, why don't you)
(Sing along)
Stay a little while, child (Stay)
Stay a little while, child
(Come on)
[Bridge: Mariah Carey & Jermaine Dupri]
There's no need (uh uh-huh)
To act surprised (say what)
Cause there's no room
For surplus pride
So let's push love to the limit (uh-huh)
And life to the edge (alright)
I've only one request of you (stay)
Stay a while
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
I'd give my all to have
(Uh-huh, MC like what)
Just one more night with you
(JD like what)
I'd risk my life to feel
(Uh-huh, Lord Tariq like what)
Your body next to mine
(Peter Gunz like what?)
'Cause I can't go on
Living in the memory of our song
(Uh-huh, uh-huh, [?] like what)
I'd give my all for your love tonight
(And up town play, play on, sounds cute, play, play on)
(DX, play, play on)
[?], play on
MC, play, play on
