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

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 reaching me by phone
Because I promise 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

You got to get it straight
How could I ever be late
When you're my woman takin' up my time

How could you ever allow
I guess I wonder how
How could you get out of pocket for fun

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

I'll be good
I wish I could
Get this message over to you now

[Instrumental Interlude]

When you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person you really are now

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
I'm about to go there
Then you'll know
For me to stay here

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' me by phone
Cause 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
You got to get it 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

I'll be good
I wish I could
Get this message over to you now

Got my bags at the door
Im getting ready to leave
Ohh ohh
I can tell there's something
You wanna say to me
Ohh ohh
Baby speak your mind
Cos you're wasting time
It's a quarter to nine
And my car is on the way
You say you wasn't ready for this
So i'm out the door
Or did something in your mind change

If you want me to stay..
If you want me to stay,
Say you want me to stay
Baby stop playing around with me
There ain't no time to play
If you want me to stay
Baby you got to show me

Ohh your eyes and your mouth
Are saying two different things
Ohh ohh
You need to figure it out
I'm tired of waiting
Ohh ohh
Being indecisive it goes with a price
And now your time is almost gone
I'm hearing go on and leave
You don't care about me
But your eyes are saying
You want me home

If you want me to stay..
If you want me to stay,
Say you want me to stay
Baby stop playing around with me
There ain't no time to play
If you want me to stay
Baby you got to show me
(show me you want me baby)
Show me you want me baby
(show me you want me baby)
Show me you want me baby
(show me you want me baby)
Baby show me that you care
(show me you want me baby)
Show me, show me
(show me you want me baby)
(show me you want me baby)
Show me that you care

You've got to show me
If you want me to stay..
If you want me to stay,
Say you want me to stay
Baby stop playing around with me
There ain't no time to play
If you want me to stay
Baby you got to show me

If you want me to stay,
Say you want me to stay
Baby stop playing around with me
There ain't no time to play
If you want me to stay
Baby you got to show me
