lyrics

Stay with me

Music & lyrics: Annette Campagne

I had a boyfriend, my favourite ex
With a dimple on his chin
A dimple so exciting, so warm and inviting
I loved to dive right in
He would paint my toenails red
bring me breakfast in bed
I fell heels over head
That’s when he fled

Life is much too short to worry
To take so seriously
Where you going in such a hurry
Why don’t you stay with me

I had a buddy, my favourite tortured soul
We would party the night away
We were more than just misunderstood
and we both liked it that way
But my heart was full of dread
too much smoke in my head
“I’ve got to quit”, I said
That’s when he fled

Life is much too short to worry
To take so seriously
Where you going in such a hurry
Why don’t you stay with me

I had a guru, my favourite human being
He said he was from up above
He said “Do not be frightened, for I am enlightened
I will show you the ways of love”
When I questioned where he led
where angels fear to tread
he turned on me instead
That’s when I fled

Life is much too short to worry
To take so seriously
Where you going in such a hurry
Why don’t you stay with me
