I'M GONNA STAY
(Joe Allison / Audrey Allison / Johnny Scoggins)


Johnny Scoggins - 1960





I'm the one that was with her when you phoned
And I didn't like the words of your sweet song
It's not my fault, you're all to blame, you move too slow
Just don't be callin' tellin' her I'll have to go

Now, if you want to find out just which man is best
Just call me up and gimme your name and address
When you moved out, I moved in, things work that way
Sell your papers somewhere else, I wanna stay

I'm tellin' you you'd best forget about the number on her phone
Sing your songs to someone else and leave my girl alone
You lost your chance for true romance, so be on your way
Don't waste your time, made up my mind, I wanna stay

Now, if you want to find out just which man is best
Just call me up and gimme your name and address
When you moved out, I moved in, things work that way
Sell your papers (sic) somewhere else, I wanna stay

I'm tellin' you you'd best forget about the number on her phone
Sing your songs to someone else and leave my girl alone
You lost your chance for true romance, so be on your way
Don't waste your time, made up my mind, I wanna stay
Don't waste your time, made up my mind, I wanna stay
Don't waste your time, made up my mind, I wanna stay


**This was a follow-up to the songs 
"He'll Have To Go" 
and 
"He'll Have To Stay".
