听歌学英语:我希望你留下 Stay

美国东部时间9月26日，天后Rihanna发布了她第七张录音室专辑的最新单曲《Diamonds》。这首《Diamonds》与Rihanna以往的火爆劲歌、洗脑电音不同，抒情曲风的《Diamonds》回归了R&B。在制作和演唱的处理上，走的也是复古圆润的路线，这也是专辑Unapologetic中流出最早的一首歌。不过今天我们要推荐的这首歌是新专辑的二单—Stay。Rihanna自不用介绍，美国乐坛的rnb天后，而feat蕾哈娜的歌手可能大家有点陌生。Mikky Ekko，未签约的歌手，同时也是作曲家。出生于密西西比，现在住在纳什维尔，曾经也发过EP出过单曲，现在itunes还可以下载到哦！

英文歌词：

All along it was a fever

A cold sweat¹ hot-headed believer

I threw my hands in the air I said show me something

He said, if you dare² come a little closer

Round and around and around and around we go

Ohhh now tell me now tell me now tell me now you know

Not really sure how to feel about it

Something in the way you move

Makes me feel like I can't live without you

It takes me all the way

I want you to stay

It's not much of a life you're living

It's not just something you take, it's given

Round and around and around and around we go

Ohhh now tell me now tell me now tell me now you know

Not really sure how to feel about it

Something in the way you move

Makes me feel like I can't live without you

It takes me all the way

I want you to stay

Ohhh the reason I hold on

Ohhh cause I need this hole gone

Funny you're the broken one but i'm the only one who needed saving³

Cause when you never see the lights it's hard to know which one of us is caving

Not really sure how to feel about it

Something in the way you move

Makes me feel like I can't live without you

It takes me all the way

I want you to stay, stay

I want you to stay, ohhh
