Everyday I'm growing a little bit closer to you
I find myself doing everything you ask me to do
We talk a little then you say you have to be gone
But when you leave me the memory hangs on and on 
Why don't you linger a little bit longer
Won't you linger a little bit longer
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger
Linger a little bit longer
A little bit longer 
I can see you thinking about what your love means to me
I can sense the feelings that nobody else ever sees
You are always in a rush how I wish you'd take a little time
Why run when one kiss could make you mine all mine 
Why don't you linger a little bit longer
Won't you linger a little bit longer
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger
Linger a little bit longer 
Breaks me up every time you go away
Wouldn't it be simpler all round if you were to stay yeah 
Linger a little bit longer
Won't you linger just a little bit longer
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger
Linger a little bit longer
Won't you linger a little bit longer ... move in closer
Feel my love grow stronger
Linger. A little bit longer
Why don't you linger a little bit longer
Won't you linger a little bit longer
Move in closer feel my love grow stronger ...
