Till Johnny Comes - Brenda Holloway

Stay with me, baby

Till Johnny comes

He’ll come one day, I know it

But he’s having fun

He’s out painting the world scarlet red

And he’s left me alone to be blue

One day he’ll come to take me away

From this love I’ve been sharing with you

Stay with me, baby

Please, stay

Till Johnny comes

Stay with me, baby

And hold me near

Just the way Johnny used to hold me

When he was here

'Cause when last he was here, we were kissing

And I thrilled to the way he spoke my name

When he thinks of the true love he’s been missing

He’ll be coming back to stake his claim

Stay with me, baby

Please, stay

Till Johnny comes

Since Johnny’s been gone

You have dried all of the tears I have cried

Won’t you stay here by my side

Till Johnny shows

And I’ll tell Johnny he’s come too late

Just how long did he think I would wait

And then stay with me forever

Won’t you stay with me forever

After Johnny goes

Stay with me, baby

Forever and ever and ever and ever

Stay with me, baby
