If You Want Me To Stay Live- Sly and The Family Stone

If you want me to stay
Ill be around today
To be available for you to see
Im about to go there
Then youll know
For me to stay here
Ive got to be me
Youll never be in doubt
Thats what its all about
You cant take me for granted and smile
Count the days Im gone
Forget reachin me by phone
Cause I promise
Ill 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 youre 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
Youre never number two
Number ones gonna be number one

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

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