[Verse]
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 gotta 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 good days, I’m gone
Forget of reachin’ me by phone
‘Cause I promise I’ll be gone for a while
Pressure, oh, oh no
Oh, and 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, taking up my time
[Chorus]
But how could you ever allow?
I guess I wonder how I could get out of pocket for fun
How?
And oh, I’ll be good, and I wish I could
Get this message over to you now
[Post-Chorus]
Pressure, oh, oh no
[Bridge]
Did you know that you’re never number two?
Number one gonna be number one
And you know that you’re never number two
Number one gonna be number one
[Chorus]
But how could you ever allow?
I guess I wonder how I could get out of pocket for fun
How?
[Outro]
If you want me to stay, I’ll be around
If you want me to stay, I’ll be around
If you want me to stay, I'll
If you want me to stay, I’ll be around
Oh, I’ll be around
Oh, I’ll be around
If you want me to stay, I’ll be around
If you want me to stay, I’ll be around
Oh, I’ll be around
