If you want me to stay, I'll be around today
To be available for you to see
But 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 days I'm gone, forget reachin' 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
Whеn you're my woman taking up my time?

Well, oh, how could you еver allow, I guess I wonder how
How could you get out of pocket for fun? How, how?
When you know that you're never number two
Number one's gonna be number one

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

Oh yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah

When you see me again, I hope that you have been
The kind of person you really are now
I'll, I'll be so good, oh, I wish I could
Get the message over to you now, oh
Wish I could, could
