if you want me to stay

if you want me to stay

i'll be around today

available for you to see

well 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 down

that's what it's all about

can't take me for granted smile

count my days i'm gone

together me and you by phone

i promised i'll be gone for a while

when you see me again

i hope that you have been

the kind of person

that you really are now

got to get them straight

how could i ever be late

to the only woman taking up my time

how could i ever allow

i guess i wondered how

i could forget about a pocket of fun

when you know

that you'll never ever do

number one's gonna be number one

i'll be good

i wish i could

get the message over to you now

when you see me again

i hope that you have been

the kind of person

that you really are now
