If you want me to stay
I'll be around today
To be available for you to see

But I am 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

And count the days I'm gone
Forget reachin' me by phone
Because I promise I'll be gone for a while

And if you see me again
I'll bet you have been
The kind of person... that you really are now

You got to get in straight
(You got to get in straight)
How could I ever be late
When you're my man taking up my time

What did you ever allow
'Cause I wonder how
How could get out a pocket for fun
And when you know
That you're never number two
Number one's gonna be number one

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

[Outro]
And when you see me again
I hope that you have been
The kind of person... that you really are now
(You really are now)

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

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