Lyrics

[00:26.34] If you want me to stay
[00:28.54] I'll be around today
[00:30.84] To be available for you to see
[00:34.78] I'm about to go
[00:38.19] And then you'll know
[00:40.56] For me to stay here
[00:42.48] I've got to be me
[00:44.73] You'll never be in doubt
[00:47.66] That's what it's all about
[00:49.79] You can't take me for granted and smile
[00:54.52] Count the days I'm gone
[00:57.63] Forget reachin' me by phone
[00:59.38] Because I promise
[01:00.86] I'll be gone for a while
[01:04.55] And when you see me again
[01:06.61] I hope that you have been
[01:08.78] The kind of person
[01:10.48] That you really are now
[01:13.39] You got to get it straight
[01:15.79] How could I ever be late
[01:18.05] When you're my woman
[01:19.60] Takin' up my time
[01:22.39] Ohh, how could I ever allow?
[01:25.21] I guess I wonder how
[01:27.57] I could get out a pocket for fun
[01:31.26] When you know that
[01:34.56] You're never number two
[01:36.84] Number one's gonna be number one
[01:40.65] I'll be good
[01:44.88] I wish I could
[01:46.26] I get this message over to you now
[01:56.98]
[02:06.04] When you see me again
[02:12.38] I hope that you have been
[02:14.49] The kind of person
[02:16.28] You really are now
[02:19.37] I'll be so good
[02:22.53] I wish, I could
[02:24.52] Get the message over to you now
[02:29.71]
