If You Want Me To Stay

(album: HOPE - 2019)

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 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 good days, I'm gone
Forget of reaching me by phone
'Cause I promise I'll be gone for a while

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

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

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

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

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
