Like a ghost don't need a key Your best friend I've come to be Please don't think of getting up for me You don't even need to speak When I've been here for just one day You'll already miss me if I go away So close the blinds and shut the door You won't need other friends anymore Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm If you're low, just hold on 'Cause I will be your safety Oh, don't leave home And I arrived when you were weak I'll make you weaker, like a child Now all your love you give to me When your heart is all I need Oh don't leave home, oh don't leave home And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm And if you're low, just hold on 'Cause I will be your safety Oh, don't leave home Oh how quiet, quiet the world can be When it's just you and little me Everything is clear, and everything is new So you won't be leaving, will you? And if you're cold, I'll keep you warm And if you're low, just hold on 'Cause I will be your safety Oh, don't leave home 'Cause I will be your safety And I will be your safety I will be your safety Oh, don't leave home
