HE'LL HAVE TO STAY
(Joe Allison / Audrey Allison / Charles Grean)


Jeanne Black - 1960
Skeeter Davis - 1960
Corina Minette - 1960
Sally Kelly - 1960





I am glad you finally called me on the phone
I've been waiting here tonight, but not alone
You broke the date that we had made just yesterday
Now there's someone else who's here, he'll have to stay

I have found another love I know is true
And he holds me much more tenderly than you
Loving you's not worth the price I have to pay
Someone else is in your place, he'll have to stay

Once I loved you with all my heart
But now I must say "No"
You broke my heart too many times
So now you'll have to go

I can hear the jukebox playing soft and low
And you're out again with someone else, I know
My love was blind, I'm not your kind, that's all I'll say
So you can hang up, I'm in his arms, he'll have to stay


** This was the "answer" song to the Jim Reeves 
international hit of 1960, "He'll Have To Go".
