If You Want Me To Stay (sly Stone) Lyrics

If You Want Me To Stay (sly Stone)

If you want me to stay
I'll be around today
To be available for you to
see
I'm about to go there
Then you'll know
For me to stay here
I've
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
Cause 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
You got to get it straight
How could I ever be
late
When you're my woman
Taking up my time
Oh how could I ever
allow
I guess I wonder how
I could get out a pocket for fun
When you
know that
You're never number two
Number one's gonna be number
one

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

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