in the morning, don’t say you love me
'cause I’ll only kick you out of the door
I know your name is Rita
'cause your perfum smelling sweeter
since when I saw you down on the floor, guitar
won’t need to much pursuading
I don’t mean to sound degrading
but with a face like that
you got nothing to laugh about
red lips hair and fingernails
I hear your a mean old jezabel
lets go up stairs and read my tarot cards
stay with me, stay with me for tonight you better stay with me stay with me, stay with me for tonight you better stay with me so in the morning, please don’t say you love me
'cause you know I’ll only kick you out the door
yeah, I’ll pay your cab fare home
you can even use my best colonge
just don’t be here in the morning when I wake up come on now
stay with me, stay with me
'cause tonight you’re gonna stay with me sit down, get up, get down
stay with me, stay with me
'cause tonight you’re gonna stay with me hey, whats your name again
oh no, get down, wooo
Rod Stewart at one point in his life along with Faces was one of the greatest kick ass bands I've ever heard.. Hard to imagine after some of the garbage he put out in his latter years.. Stlll remember cranking up some of his faces albums.. IT WAS AMAZING!!!
A Perfect Song. It sounds as if it might spin out of control at any moment, but somehow holds together and chugs down the road with a funky perfection.
Rod Stewart - lead vocals; Ronnie Wood - electric & slide guitars; Ian McLagan - Wurlitzer electric piano; Ronnie Lane - bass; Kenney Jones - drums......Gentlemen, thank you eternally!!!
I put this on on a Sunday morning after three stiff belts of bourbon, and started strutting around the living room in my boxer shorts while playing air guitar. I guess my then wife must've come in and saw this going, cause the next day she filed for divorce.
