about

This song dates back to The Late Fees days . . . Musically, it is definitely an homage, showing my love of Dion & The Bellmonts and other doo-wop. Lyrically, it's straight-forward statement to my lady.

lyrics

"The Staying Kind"
(R.F. Restaino)

I was not the kind of guy you'd ever run with
You figured I would just be someone to have fun with
I took one look at you and knew
I'd have to change your mind
I may be rough around the edges but
Baby, I'm the staying kind

You had been messed around by guys you thought were keepers
They all had steady jobs, nice cars, but nothing deeper
I've got some addictions, can't hold down a job
But bear in mind
Sure, I've got my problems but
Baby, I'm the staying kind

You're daddy and me get along
It seems that we agree
And you'll always be a daddy's girl
But now your daddy's me

I can wait forever
I got nothing to my name but time
Just let me prove it to you baby
I'm the staying kind
