Ari Lennox and Anthony Ramos - If You Want Me To Stay

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

Oh, when you see me again I hope that you have been
The kinda person that you really are now
You got to get in straight, how could I ever be late
When you're the woman taking up my time?

Whoa, oh, how could you ever allow? I guess I wonder how
How could you get outta pocket for fun?
When you know that you're never number two (never number two)
Number one's gonna be number one (oh, oh)
Oh, I'll be good, I wish I could
Get this message over to you now

Ooh-ooh, ayy
Oh, baby, yeah, oh
Hey

When you seek me again, I hope that you have been
The kinda person you really are now
I'll be so good, I wish I could
Get the message over to you now

Ow, ayy
Oh
Oh, yeah, uh-huh, huh
Get the message over to you now (babe)
Uh, oh yeah, oh-oh
Oh, say yeah
