Till Johnny Comes

(Wm. Robinson, Jr.)



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
