Rufus - Stay Lyrics






Please stay with me now
Don't you let me go
I'll make it somehow
I got to let you know
That I'll make it
Somehow, some way
Though I wait on the day
What I'm doing's gotta pay
Some way, somehow

My baby, when he cries
It's 'cause something's on his mind
This world is full of lies
You and me are one of a kind
The good Lord will stand behind every step
We are blind to fate, that's life, that's life

Stay, stay, stay, stay (won't you please)
Stay, stay, stay, stay

It fits, but you can't make it work
Where there's pain, there's got to be hurt


And the green grass grows from the dirt
Yeah, that's a fact of life alright
The good Lord stands behind every step
We are blind to fate, that's life, that's life

Stay, oh won't you please
Stay, stay (won't you)
Stay, stay, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay, stay

Stay, stay (right here)
Stay, stay (don't you go, no no)
Stay, stay (oh no no)
Stay, stay (stay baby baby please stay)
Stay, stay (right here, right here, right here)
Stay, stay (I want you to stay right here)
Stay, stay (we can stay here, together, together yeah)
Stay, stay (don't listen to what people say)
Stay, stay (stay, stay, listen now yeah)
Stay, stay (stay, yeah yeah now)

    An artist name Rashaan Patterson did this over some years ago and did it justice! Check him out he's a very underrated artist!

  34. S.... f....

    This song live is best live ever

  35. N.... T....

    *This era of music made every sample we used in the 90’s. Today’s artist sample 90’s music not knowing it has deeper roots (70’s & earlier). We DID NOT PRODUCE an ounce of original music in the 90’s to be sampled currently. These real biscuits made from scratch!*

    2019 had to take it back to my yester years. It's just as good today as it was back then.

  94. A.... S....

    When artist actually worked to entertain their audiences. There's but what one, two or a few artist (Beyonce and Katy Perry) in today's music...how did we get two this point, think about it... How old are they going to be still entertaining the masses...it's a sad time to be in. The end of the world must be at hand.
