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
