Hey, woman, walking on a wire
I know your back is to the wall
What lies in water lies in fire

It's all in how you take the fall

Why don't you stay with me

Oh, lay with me
Don't turn the lights on me
Tonight on me


(Stay with me)


The streets are cold in New York City
Why don't we break the ice
Now just like a fool I'll be feeling guilty

So just this once I won't think twice

Why don't you stay with me

Oh, lay with me
The only crime I see
Is killing time with me


(Stay with me)


And, oh, what a feeling
When I'm with you
You play with fire

What am I supposed to do

Hey, woman, life's too short to straddle

You're either right or wrong
So come on gamble
Just don't keep me hanging on


Why don't you stay with me
Oh, lay with me

The only crime I see
Is killing time with me
