Stay AwayBarbra Streisand

Songwriter: Kim Carnes

Producer: Gary Klein

Stay away, leave me alone
Stay away from my door
'Cause you'll hurt me again
Like you hurt me before

Don't want no excuses
I don't want no more lies
I don't like crying
So I keep it inside

Do me a favor, for God's sake, please
Stay away, stay away!

Stay away, out of my dreams
Stay away from my nights
You're there in the darkness
So I need no other lights

I don't want no whiskey
'Cause it brings back the pain
Makes me call you at midnight
And beg you to come back again

Do me a favor, for God's sake, please
Stay away, stay away!

'Cause time is just too short
To waste it on regrets
They say it heals a broken heart
That's waiting to forget

Oh, stay away, leave me alone!
Stay away from my door
'Cause you'll hurt me again
Like you hurt me before

But if you should need me
Don't think it's all right
Don't think you can call me up
In the middle of some lonely night

'Cause if I see you
I'm afraid I might say
Don't stay away
So, stay away!

Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
