If You Want Me To Stay Lyrics

If You Want Me To Stay Song Lyrics


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.
Count the days I'm gone
Forget reachin' 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 kind of person....that you really are now.
Got to get in straight,
How could I ever be late,
When you're my woman taking up my time.

Whoa, oh how could I ever allow,
I guess I wonder how,
I could get out a pocket for fun. HOW HOW!!
When you know that you're never number two,
Number one's gonna be number one,
ohh oww oohh

I'll be good,
I wish I could
I get this message over to you now.
ahhh, yeah, message, mmmm
When you see me again,
I hope that you have been,
The kind of person you really are now.
I'll be so good, oh
I wish I could,
I get this message over to you now.

ahhh, yeah.....

Rather long clip on the song – 6.29. It has a soul, but somehow all are very sad. As if they all had lost beloved grandmother who died right before the performance. That time this song was pop, and now can be considered as blues. Because after ages, the emphasis on the vigor of music have risen strongly. And now, if you sing without a smile and boringly, as here, it becomes a blues.
