If you want me to stay,
I'll be around today,
Availabe for you to see,
Well I'm about to go,
And then you'll know,
For me to stay here,
I've got to be me.
You'll never be down,
That's what it's all about,
Can't take me for granted smile,
Count my days I'm gone,
Together me and you by phone,
i promised 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,
Got to get them straight,
How could I ever be late,
To the only woman taking up my time,
How could I ever allow,
I guess I wondered how,
I could forget about a pocket of fun.
When you know,
That you'll never ever do,
Number one's gonna be number on.
I'll be good,
I wish I could,
get the message over to you now.
When you see me again,
I hope that you have been,
The kind of person ,
That you really are now.
