Please Stay - Duffy (w/lyrics)

Song: Please Stay
Singer: Duffy
Album: Rockferry

LYRICS:
If I got on my knees
And I pleaded with you
Not to go
But to stay in my arms
Would you walk out the door
Like you did once before

This time be different
Please stay don't go

If I call out your name
Like a prayer
Would you leave me alone
With my tears
Knowing I need you so
Would you still
Turn and go

This time be different
Please stay
Don't go please stay

I loved you before
I even knew your name
I wanted to give you
My heart
But when you came back
After leaving me one time
Oh, I knew, yes I knew
That the heartaches
Would start

If I called out
Your name like a song
That was written for you
You alone
Would you still
Hurt my pride
Oh, hey, how I cried

This time be different
Please stay

Oh, this time
Be different in some way
Don't go please stay
You know
I'll always love you
Darling
Please stay

also sung by the Cryin' Shames back in March 1966. My Uncle was the drummer on the single.

@hankedful I would like to correct myself, the lead singer on Drifters Please Stay was Rudy Lewis.

Great song, all versions I've heard seem to be well done, this included. Hats off to the Drifters [Ben E King] the group who first recorded this.

[grrrpayton]

I love this song, simple but beautiful. I hope music evolves back to this.

[SouhaaMusic]

Duffy+AMy winehouse+ Adele have very similar beautiful tones! I wish amy was still alive and i would love to hear them do a collab :D

[rodyfairy]

I cry every time I hear this version. The Cryin' Shames version was produced by Joe Meek, It was his last piece before his death.

The play this version in the credits of Telstar: The Joe Meek story.

[MsLovewestlife]

must say i like westlife's version better but it's still good

crying shames single got recognition

@IxXSentinelaXxI the drifters song was tighter. more background help and studio control. duffy has that quality that just makes you listen. she handles the old songs so well, i wish she would cut an cd of just old 60's songs. i would buy that in a minute.

[IxXSentinelaXxI]

the original song is better
