If You Want Me to Stay

[Verse 1]
If you want me to stay
I'll be around today
I’ll be available for you to see

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

Now, you'll be in no doubt
That's what it's all about
You just can't take me for granted and smile

Count the days I'm gone
Forget reachin' me by phone
‘Cause I promise I'll be gone for a while, yeah

[Verse 2]
When you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person... that you really are now

Got to get this straight
How could I ever be late
When you're my woman taking up my time

How could I ever allow
I guess I’m wondering how
I could get out my pocket for fun

When you know that you're never number two
Number one's gonna be number one

[Outro]
Number one's gonna be
Number one's gonna be
Number one's gonna be number one

Number one's gonna be
Number one's gonna be
Number one's gonna be number one

And if you want me to stay
I'll be around today
To be available for you to see

And I have got to go
Oh, then you'll know
For me to stay here I’ve got to be me

You'll be in no doubt
That's what it's all about
You just can't take me for granted and smile

Count the days I'm gone
Forget reachin' me by phone
‘Cause I [?], yeah
