Belly - Stay
CStay, oh oh Foh stay (x2)C  
FSolomon dives for that Dbig dusky pearl
FSolomon sighs, he Cknows he's older than Fme
Sleeps with the fiDshes soon
CStay (stay), oh oh Foh stay (x2)C  
FSolomon crawls on the bDelly of God
FSolomon falls on his Cface in love with me.
He grows as old as the sFea
Deep where the fiDshes are.
[Chorus]
CStay, oh oh oh stFay (x4)
CHe lives in the yard, he keeps himself haFrd
He keeps himself homeless and heartless and hCard
He sleeps on the stairs along with the heFirs
Of nothing and nothing means no one who cCares
But I love him dear anCd I love him dFear
And I've loved him hundreds of thousands of yeaCrs.
CStay. Stay (stay with me) oh oh Foh stay.
CStay. Stay (stay with me) oh oh Foh stay.
CIt's not time for me to Fgo. (x3)
CStay.
