If You Want Me to Stay

If you (Am)want me to stay,

I'll be (Gm)around today to be (Fmaj7)available for you to see.

I'm (Am)about to go and (Gm)then you'll know for me to (Fmaj7)stay here,

I've got to be me.

You'll never be in doubt, that's what it's (Gm)all about.

You can't (Fmaj7)take me for granted and smile.

Count the (Am)days

I'm gone.

(Gm)Forget 'bout reachin' me by phone because I (Fmaj7)promise I'll be gone for a while.

When you (Am)see me again, I hope (Gm)you have been the kind of (Fmaj7)person that you really are (E7)now.

You got to (Am)get it straight.

How could I (Gm)ever be late (C7)when you're my (Fmaj7)woman takin' up my time?

(Am)How could you ever allow 'cause I (Gm)wonder how I'd (Fmaj7)forget out of pocket for fun.

When you (Am)know that you're never number two,

(C7)number (Fmaj7)one gonna be number one.

(Am)I'll be good, I (Gm)wish I could.

I get this (Fmaj7)message, oh, what do you know?

(E7)When you (Am)see me again, I hope (Gm)you have been the kind of (Fmaj7)person you really are (E7)now.

I'll (Am)be so good.

I (Gm)wish I could get the (Fmaj7)message over to you now.
