Song title: Stay
(Williams) by Maurice Williams and The Zodiacs (Herald 552), 1960
Stay
Stay, aaah just a little bit longer
Please, please, please, please tell me that you're going to
And your mommy don't mind
And you daddy don't mind
If we take a little time and leave it all behind
Sing one more song
Oh, won't you stay just a little bit longer
Please, please, please say you will
Em
Say you will
Just put your sweet lips on mine
Tell me that you love me all of the time
Stay, aaah just a little bit longer
Please, please, please, please tell me that you're going to
And the promotor don't mind
And the union don't mind
If we take a little time and leave it all behind
Sing one more song
Stay, aaah just a little bit longer
Please, please, please, please tell me that you're going to
And the promotor don't mind
And the big man don't mind
Take a little time and leave it all behind;
Sing one more song
Stay, aaah come on, come on, come on
Stay, aaah come on, come on, come on
Stay, aaah come on, come on, come on
