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 mean.

You'll never be in doubt,
That's what it's all about,
You can't take it for granted it's mine.

Get home and please and don't
Forget to reach 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 you ever allow,
I guess I wonder how,
How could you pick out your pockets of fun. HOW HOW!!

Well you know that you'll never know toooooo,
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.....
