If you want me to stay
|
I'll be around today
|
To be available for you to see
|
I'm about to go
|
And then you'll know
|
For me to stay here I've got to be me
|
|
You'll never be in doubt
|
That's what it's all about
|
You can't take me for granted and smile
|
Count the days I'm gone
|
Forget reaching me by phone
|
Because I promise I'll be gone for a while
|
|
When you see me again
|
I hope that you have been
|
The kind of person that you really are now
|
You got to get it straight
|
How could I ever be late
|
When you're my woman takin' up my time
|
|
How could you ever allow
|
I guess I wonder how
|
How could you get out of pocket for fun
|
When you know that you're never number two
|
Number one gonna be number one
|
|
I'll be good
|
I wish I could
|
Get this message over to you now
|
When you see me again
|
I hope that you have been
|
The kind of person you really are now
|
|
[Instrumental Interlude]
|
|
When you see me again
|
I hope that you have been
|
The kind of person that you really are now
|
I'll be so good
|
I wish I could
|
Get the message over to you now
|
