  • (Stay) ah, just a little bit longer
    (Please) please, please, please, please
    Tell me that you're going to

    Now your daddy don't mind
    And your mommy don't mind
    If we have another dance, yeah
    Just one more, one more time

    Oh, won't you stay, just a little bit longer
    Please let me hear
    You say that you will, say you will

    Won't you place your sweet lips to mine
    Won't you say you love me all the time

    (Stay) oh, yeah, just a little bit longer
    (Please) please, please, please, please
    Tell me you're going to

    Come on, come on, come on (stay), yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Come on, come on, come on (stay), yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    Come on, come on, come on (stay), ooh, la-de-da
    Come on, come on, come on (stay), my, my, my, my Writer/s: Maurice Williams

  • Romeo from BulgariaIt has even a glissando!
  • Ian from Riverside, CaliforniaI agree with Bri from Orange.
  • Dan From Cali from California Interesting Latin beat to the song. Is that a cha-cha?
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn February 9th 1964, the Four Seasons' covered version of "Stay" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #81; and on March 29th it peaked at #16 (for 1 week) and spent 11 weeks on the Top 100...
    The same week that "Stay" entered the Top 100, the Four Seasons' "Dawn (Go Away)" was at #11.
  • Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn December 26th, 1960, Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs performed "Stay" on the ABC-TV program 'American Bandstand'...
    Three months earlier on October 3rd it entered the Billboard's Hot Top 100 and on November 21st, 1960 it peaked at #1 (for 1 week) and spent 18 weeks on the Top 100...
    The record at #2 was Elvis' "Are You Lonesome Tonight", which the week before was at #35, so it was no surprise that "Stay" only remained at #1 for one week.
  • Bri from Orange, CaThis song reminds me of being with a boy or girl you like and u don't want leve them
