If You Want Me to Stay

If you want me to stay, I'll be around today

To be available for you to see

But I am about to go and then you'll know

For me to stay here, I 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 of reachin' me by phone

Because, I promise, I'll be gone for a while

And when you see me again, I hope that you have been

The kind of person that you really are now

Got to get in straight, how could I ever be late

When you're, my woman, taking up my time?

Whoa-oh, how could I ever allow, I guess I wonder how

I could get out a pocket for fun, how-how

When you know that you're never number two

Number one's gonna be number one

Oh, I'll be good, I wish I could

I get this message over to you now

Ahh!

Oh-oh, yeah, ah-ah-ah

When you see me again, I hope that you have been

The kind of person you really are now

I'll be so good, oh, I wish that I could

Get the message over to you now, ah-oh

To show good to you, woman

'Cause I love you little baby

OK, baby
