Duffy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who did you run to; find a shoulder to lay your head upon
Ooh wasn't I there, didn't I take good care of you
Oh no can't believe, your leaving me
Stay, Stay With Me Baby
Stay With Me Baby
Please Stay With Me Babe
Where did you go, in search of tenderness'
Didn't I give you everything in return for a memory'
Ooh wasn't I there, baby I. maybe I was too good for you
Oh no can't believe, your leaving me
Stay, Stay With Me Baby
Stay With Me Baby
Please Stay With Me Babe
Oh remember, you said you'd never leave me
Oh remember, you said you would always need me
Remember, Remember
I'm asking you, begging you, begging you
Ooh Stay with Me Babe
Please Stay With Me Baby
Oh please stay with me babe

No stay, stay
I'll stay, stay, so don't go

Duffy's hit song "Stay With Me Baby" is a beautiful piece of soulful music that speaks of lost love and the desperation to hold on to it. The lyrics depict the struggles of a lover who cannot believe that their partner has left them after all the care and attention they have given them. The singer is questioning their partner's decision to leave and wondering where they went when things went wrong. They remind their lover of all the times they were there for them, and yet they still ended up leaving. The plea begins in the chorus, "Stay with me, baby. Please stay with me babe, I can't go on."
The second verse of the song further illustrates the pain the singer is feeling. They ask where their partner went to look for tenderness, reminding them of all the things they had done for them. The singer is questioning why they were not enough for the other person. The chorus repeats, with the plea being directed toward the listener with more urgency. The bridge of the song includes a reminder of the promises the two had made to each other to never leave or go. The song ends with the ultimate plea for the person to stay with the singer, as they cannot go on without them.
Overall, Duffy's "Stay With Me Baby" is an eloquent expression of the pain and desperation one experiences when a significant relationship ends. The song's beautiful melody combined with the emotive lyrics makes it a timeless classic.

I have always loved this song but this version has become my favorite...I think it's the passion she puts in and her voice is so unique.
Roger Jones
I so agree with your comment Bronwen,Duffy's voice projects pain hurt and emotion so naturally. For me a truly soulful artist.
Maria Clementina
this Song is beautiful it's voce incredibale about problem wow
Glenn Bell
Duffy sings with so much passion, soul, emotion and feeling, her voice is like an orchestral play! This has always been one of my very, very favourite songs and I didnt believe Lorraine Ellisons version could be bettered...I was wrong. Duffys loss to the world of music was truly tragic just as she was set to have an amazing career before falling foul of a scumbag who abducted and abused her. I believe this remarkable young lady is looking to resume her career and I look forward to her new work.

I so hope she gets a comeback with all the success she deserves after all she's gone thru!
Roger Jones
Yes indeed I agree FrogSp4sh. Her unique story has clearly taken an awful turn, poor lady. But,she still has her looks and talent, and hopefully she can spring back up to where she was.I still think that there is a Hollywood blockbuster to be made of of her life story?
