Oh won't you stay Stay a while with your own ones Don't ever stray Stray so far from your own ones Cause the world is so cold Don't care nothing for your soul That you share with your own ones Don't rush away Rush away from your own ones Just one more day One more day with your own ones Cause the world is so cold Don't care nothing 'bout your soul That you share with your own ones There's a stranger And he's standing at your door Might be your best friend, might be your brother You may never know I'm going back Going back to my own ones Come back to talk Talk a while with my own ones Cause the world is so cold Don't care nothing 'bout your soul You share with your own ones Oh won't you stay One more day with your own ones Don't rush away Rush away from your own ones This old world is so cold, Don't care nothing for your soul You share with your own ones
