Lyrics:
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 perfume smelling sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor
guitar
Won’t need to much persuading
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 you’re a mean old Jezebel
Lets go up stairs and read my tarot cards
Red lips, hair, and fingernails
I hear you’re a mean old Jezebel
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
Yea I’ll pay your cab fare home
You can even use my best cologne
Just don’t be here in the morning when I wake up
Stay with me
Stay with me
Cause tonight you better stay with me
Sit down, get up, get down
Stay with me
Stay with me
Cause tonight your going stay with me
Hey, whats your name again
oh no, get down, wooo

Many people think this is a Rod Stewart song, and it’s true, he is the lead vocalist. However, Faces was a British rock band that was formed by Stewart and Steve Marriott (previously of Small Faces and later of Humble Pie—a band that spawned the career of Peter Frampton). Stewart and Marriott were joined by Ronnie wood (now part of The Rolling Stones) to form Faces.
The iconic, swaggering guitar riff paired with Stewart’s raspy, whiskey-soaked voice make for nearly five minutes of perfect rock and roll. It was Faces’ only U.S. hit (the band charted a couple of other minor hits in the UK) and without a doubt, it is one of my favorite tracks of all-time. The album name, A Wink Is As Good As a Nod to a Blind Horse, is also one of my favorite idioms.
A wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse:
This is a 16th-century phrase that originated in England that means either of two options—in this case, a wink and a nod—are both equally useless if no one (in this case, a blind horse) is watching.
Turn it up, my babies!
