If You Want Me to Stay

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 reachin' my cell phone
Because I promise I'll be gone for a while

Mmm, 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

Oh, how could I ever allow?
I guess I wonder how
I could get out a pocket for fun

When you know that you're never number two
Number one's gonna be number one
Ohh, ohh, whoa

I'll be good
I wish I could
I get this message over to you now, ohh

It's so perfect for me

And 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

If you want me to stay
I'll be around today
To be available for you to see, yeah

I'm about to go
And then you'll know
For me to stay here, I've got to be me

If you want me to stay (If you want me to stay)
If you want me to stay (If you want me to stay)
If you want me to stay (If you want me to stay)
If you want me to stay (If you want me)
If you want me to stay (If you want me)
If you want me to stay (If you want me)
If you want me to stay (If you want me)
If you want me to stay (If you want me)
If you want me to stay (If you want me to stay)
