Lyrics cannot contain links. Lyric edit submitted successfully and is pending approval. Approvals usually take 24 hours. Edit Cancel Editing Tips Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's hard to say which is my favorite song by Paul Young, it's a toss up between this and Love of the Common People. The guy had such a great voice I'm surprised he didn't become more bigger then he was on the music scene. I was able to relate to this song much more though of the two.

It's not that I have the right to tell you which one of the two songs is better or which one of the two you should like the most, but since this is a site for interpretation and/or sharing of personal experiences which serve to give meaning to a song, it would have been useful that you told us why do you relate more to "Come Back and Stay". That's what I've been doing on other songs, at least.

I'm not sure if 5 years later you will come back and stay to this comment, Joking Kong, though.
