Stay With Me

Rod Stewart Stay With Me Lyrics
1.STAY WITH ME

In the morning
Don't say you love me
Cause I'll only kick you out of the door

I know your name is Rita
Cause your perfum smelling sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor
guitar

Won't need to much pursuading
I don't mean to sound degrading
But with a face like that
You got nothing to laugh about

Red lips hair and fingernails
I hear your a mean old jezabel
Lets go up stairs and read my tarot cards

Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me

Stay with me
Stay with me
For tonight you better stay with me

So in the morning
Please don't say you love me
Cause you know I'll only kick you out the door

Yea I'll pay your cab fare home
You can even use my best colonge
Just don't be here in the morning when I wake up

Stay with me
Stay with me
Cause tonight you better stay with me
Sit down, get up, get down

Stay with me
Stay with me
Cause tonight your going stay with me
Hey, whats your name again
oh no, get down, wooo


2.I Know I'm Losing You

Written:N.Whitfield/E.Holland/C.Grant

Your love is fading I can feel your love fading
Woman it's fading away from me
'Cause your personal touch has grown cold
as if someone else controls your very soul
I fooled myself long as I can
I can feel the presence of another man
It's there when you speak my name
It's just not the same
Oh honey I'm losing you
I can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere
Oh I'm losing you

I can feel it in my bones
any day you'll be up and gone
Ooh I'm losing you
It's all over your face someone's takin' my place
Could it be that I'm losing you

When I look into your eyes a reflection of a face I see
Oh Lord I'm losing you
I'm hurt, downhearted and worried girl
'cause that face doesn't belong to me

Your love is fadin', I can feel it fadin'
Oh away from me
I can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere
ooh I'm losing you

I don't wanna lose you
but I know I'm gonna groove you
Oh Lord I'm losing you, and I'm a losin' you

Your love is fadin', I can feel it fadin'
Oh Lord I'm losing you


3.MAGGIE MAY

Written:Rod Stewart/Martin Quittenton

Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you
It's late September and I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused but I feel I'm being used
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart and that's what really hurt

The morning sun when it's in your face really shows your age
But that don't worry me none in my eyes you're everything
I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didn't need to coax
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone
You stole my soul and that's a pain I can do without

All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
But you turned into a lover and
mother what a lover, you wore me out
All you did was wreck my bed
and in the morning kick me in the head
Oh Maggie I couldn't have tried anymore
You lured me away from home 'cause you didn't want to be alone
You stole my heart I couldn't leave you if I tried

I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school
Or steal my daddy's cue and make a living out of playing pool
Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin' hand
Oh Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
You made a first-class fool out of me
But I'm as blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart but I love you anyway

Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
I'll get on back home one of these days


4.Every Picture Tells A Story

Lyrics:Rod Stewart/Ron Wood
Music:Rod Stewart/Ron Wood

Spent some time feelin' inferior
standing in front of my mirror
Combed my hair in a thousand ways
but I came out looking just the same

Daddy said, 'Son, you better see the world
I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave
But remember one thing don't lose your head
to a woman that'll spend your bread'
So I got out

Paris was a place you could hide away
if you felt you didn't fit in
French police wouldn't give me no peace
They claimed I was a nasty person
Down along the Left Bank minding my own
Was knocked down by a human stampede
Got arrested for inciting a peacful riot
when all I wanted was a cup of tea
I was accused
I moved on

Down in Rome I wasn't getting enough
of the things that keeps a young man alive
My body stunk but I kept my funk
at a time when I was right out of luck
Getting desperate indeed I was
Looking like a tourist attraction
Oh my dear I better get out of here
'for the Vatican don't give no sanction
I wasn't ready for that, no no

I moved right out east yeah!
On the Peking ferry I was feeling merry
sailing on my way back here
I fell in love with a slit eyed lady
by the light of an eastern moon
Shangai Lil never used the pill
She claimed that it just ain't natural
She took me up on deck and bit my neck
Oh people I was glad I found her
Oh yeah I was glad I found her

I firmly believe that I didn't need anyone but me
I sincerely thought I was so complete
Look how wrong you can be

The women I've known I wouldn't let tie my shoe
They wouldn't give you the time of day
But the slit eyed lady knocked me off my feet
God I was glad I found her
And if they had the words I could tell to you
to help you on the way down the road
I couldn't quote you no Dickens, Shelley or Keats
'cause it's all been said before
Make the best out of the bad just laugh it off
You didn't have to come here anyway
So remember, every picture tells a story don't it


5.Jodie

Lyrics:Wood/Stewart/Mclagan
Music:Wood/Stewart/Mclagan

Ooh hoo
Just a telegram
When your plane touches down
Are you sure that I ain't talking to myself ?
And when the seatbelt sign goes on,
You know you're not alone
'Cause Jodie I still love ya'
All the while

And I wish ya' all the best
With your current success
Don't let the flash boys turn your head
And I don't mind you havin' friends
But your love is not to lend

'Cause Jodie I still love ya'
Always thinkin' of ya'
Jodie I still love ya'
All the while

And I'm gonna have to get by anyway, hmmm
And you know with the winter comin' on, it's gonna be so hard
And I really really really really don't miss ya' anyway, not
anyway
And you know how I lie
Hmm, oww

So I wish you all the best
With your current success
Don't let the flash boys turn your head
And I don't mind ya' havin' friends,
But your love is not to lend, remember

Jodie I still love ya'
I'm always thinkin' of ya'
Jodie I still love ya'
All the while
Jodie I still love ya'
I'm always thinkin' of ya'
Jodie I still love ya'
All the time


6.Oh! No Not My Baby

Lyrics:Carole King
Music:Gerry Goffin

When my friends told me you had someone new,
I didn't believe a single word was true
I told them all I had faith in you.
I kept a-right on sayin'

Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
You're not like all those other girls
who play with the men's hearts like they were toys.

My mama told me, 'Son when rumors spread
that there is truth somewhere,
and you should use your head.'
But sure didn't listen to what she said,
don't you know I kept a-right on sayin'

Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.

You're not like all those other girls
who lead you on and tell you lies
No, no, my baby

Tell me, baby
I don't believe what they say, no

Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my sweet sweet baby,
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
No way, not my baby
Not my baby, not my baby
not my sweet sweet baby
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.
Oh, no, not my baby,
oh no, not my sweet baby.


7.I Wish It Would Rain

Written:Norman Whitfield/Barret Strong/R.Penzabene

How you doin' Annaheim ? I don't know what else to call ya'. If
I knew all your names, I'd call ya' your bloody names.
Here's one that we did when we was here - were many of you here
last night ?
Alright, well I changed me shirt anyway - no I haven't - changed
me trousers.

Sunshine, blue skies, please go away,
My love has found another, gone away
Withered up my future, my life is filled with gloom,
Day after day I stay locked up in my room.
I know to you it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain.

Curse so badly, I don want to go outside,
Everyone knows that a man ain supposed to cry.
Listen, I e got to cry, 'cause crying sheds the pain.
To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain
I wish it would rain

Let it rain

Looking down at my tear stained face pressed against the window
pane,
But I search the sky desperately for rain,
'Cause raindrops will hide my teardrops, no one will ever know
When I crying, crying when I go outside.
To the world outside my tears I refuse to explain
I wish it would rain

Let it rain

Like that number ?


8.Country Comforts

Lyrics:Bernie Taupin
Music:Elton John

Soon the pines will be falling everywhere
Village children always fighting for fair share
And the six-o-nine goes roarin' down the creek
As Parson Lee prepares his service for next week

I saw grandma yesterday down at the store
Well she's really lookin' fine for eighty-four
And she asked me if some time I'd fix the barn
Poor old girl, she needs a man down on the farm

Chorus:
And it's good old country comforts in my bones
Just the sweetest sound my ears have ever known
Just an old fashioned feeling in my bones
Country comforts and the road that's going home

Down at the mill they've got a new machine
Foreman says it cuts manpower by fifteen
'Oh, but that ain't natural' old man Grayson says
'cause he's a horse-drawn man until his dying days

(Chorus)


9.REASON TO BELIEVE

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard to live without
somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
never think about myself

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way just to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you makes it hard to live without
somebody else
Someone like you makes it easy to give
never think about myself


10.Angel

Lyrics:J.Hendrix
Music:J.Hendrix

Angel came down from heaven yesterday
stayed with me long enough to rescue me
And she told me a story yesterday
about the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
Then she spread her wings high over me
she said she goin' now, come back tomorrow
And I said, 'Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel tomorrow I gonna be by your side'

Fly away, high away, fly away

Sure enough this morning came unto me
silver wings silhouetted against a child sunrise
And my angel she said unto me
Today the day for you to rise
Take my hand, you e gonna be my man, you e gonna rise
Then she took me high over yonder

And I said, 'Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel forever I will be by your side'
And I said, 'Fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky
Fly on my sweet angel forever I will be by your side'
Fly away, come back another day


11.Street Fighting Man

Written:Mick Jagger/Keith Richards

Everywhere I hear the sound
of marching, charging feet boy
'Cause the summer's here
and the time is right for
fighting in the street boy

Hey think the time is right
for a palace revolution
Where I live the game to play
is just to compromise my solution

What can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause you see bein' London town
there's just no other place
for a street fighting man

Hey did I tell you that my name
was called disturbance
And I'll shout and scream
and I'll kill the king and
I'll rail at all his servants

What can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause you see bein' London town
there's just no place
for a street fighting man

Everywhere I hear the sound
of marching, charging feet boy
'Cause the summer's here
and the time is right for
fighting in the street boy

What can a poor boy do
except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause you see bein' London town
there's just no other place
for a street fighting man


12.Pinball Wizard

Lyrics:Pete Townshend
Music:Pete Townshend

Ever since I was a young boy,
I played the silver ball;
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played 'em all.
But I ain't seen nothin' like him
In any amusement hall
That deaf, dumb an' blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.

He stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine.
Feelin' all the bumpers
Always playin' clean.
Plays by intuition,
the digit counters fall.
That deaf, dumb an' blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!

He's a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist,
A pinball wizard,
got such a supple wrist.

How do you think he does it?
What makes him so good?
Ain't got no distractions,
Can't hear those buzzes and bells,
don't see lights aflashin'
plays by sense of smell.
Always gets a replay,
Never tilts at all
That deaf, dumb an' blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.

Even my usual table,
He can beat my best,
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest.
He's got crazy flipper' fingers,
never seen him fall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball.
