When one goes back and looks at the chart numbers for previous songs in the Rock Era, some of them defy explanation. This song by Englishman Paul Young peaked at #22 in 1984. Now 1984 was a great year in music, to be sure, but that doesn't explain a #22 peak for this song. I was the research director at a radio station back then, and I can tell you unequivocally that it was one of the most popular songs we played. Should have been Top 10:
Come Back And Stay
Paul Young
Lyrics and Music by Jack Lee
Since you've been gone
I shut my eyes
And I fantasize
That you're here with me
Will you ever return?
I won't be you satisfied
Till you're by my side
Don't wait any longer...
Why don't you come back?
Please hurry, why don't you come back?
Please hurry...
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
You said goodbye
I was trying to hide
What I felt inside
Until you passed me by
You said you'd return
You said that you'd be mine
Till the end of time
Don't wait any longer
Why don't you come back?
Please hurry, why don't you come back?
Please hurry...
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
Since you've been gone
Opened my eyes
And I realize
What we had together
Will you ever return?
I'll have you change your mind
If you won't stay mine
Just love me forever
Love me forever
Why don't you come back?
Please hurry, why don't you come back?
Please hurry, why don't you come back?
Please hurry, why don't you come back?
Please hurry, why don't you come back?
Please hurry
Just come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
Don't ever leave me
Since you've been gone
I shut my eyes
And I fantasize
That you're here with me
Will you ever return?
I won't be you satisfied
Till you're by my side
Don't wait any longer...
Why don't you come back?
Please hurry, why don't you come back?
Please hurry...
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
You said goodbye
I was trying to hide
What I felt inside
Until you passed me by
You said you'd return
You said that you'd be mine
Till the end of time
Don't wait any longer
Why don't you come back?
Please hurry, why don't you come back?
Please hurry...
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
Since you've been gone
Opened my eyes
And I realize
What we had together
Will you ever return?
I'll have you change your mind
If you won't stay mine
Just love me forever
Love me forever
Why don't you come back?
Please hurry, why don't you come back?
Please hurry, why don't you come back?
Please hurry, why don't you come back?
Please hurry, why don't you come back?
Please hurry
Just come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
Come back and stay for good this time
Don't ever leave me
