If You Want Me to Stay (Sly & the Family Stone Cover) Lyrics

If you want me to stay
I'll be around today to be available for you to see
I'm about to go but then you know
For me to stay here I've gotta be all me

You'll never be in doubt
That's what it's all about
You can take me for a granted and smile
Count the days I'm gone
Forget reaching me by phone

Because I promise I'll be gone for a while

And when you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kinda person that you really are now

You gotta get it straight
How could I ever be late
When you're my woman taking up my time

Ooh
How could you ever allow
I guess you wonder why
I could get out of pocket for fun
When you know that you're never number two
Number one is gonna be number one

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

And when you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kinda person that you really are now

Ooooh
Oh-oooh oh yes I...
