Stay with Me (Faces song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Stay with Me", possibly the best known song by the band Faces, is from their 1971 album A Nod Is as Good as a Wink...To a Blind Horse. The song has also appeared on many compilation albums of both the Faces and Rod Stewart. In this song, Stewart sings of a woman with "red lips, hair and fingernails" he "found... down on the floor"; he proposes a one-night stand on the condition that she must be gone when he wakes up. The song starts with a breakneck intro that settles into a simple groove which becomes the musical basis for the song - a simple rock & roll formula at a time when rock & roll was becoming more complicated.

"Stay with Me" was written by Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood.
