If You Want Me to Stay

If You Want Me to Stay - Etta James (埃塔·詹姆絲)

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'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 reaching me by phone

Because I promise I'll be gone for a while

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 takin' up my time

How could you ever allow

I guess I wonder how

How could you get out of pocket for fun

When you know that you're never number two

Number one 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 you really are 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 the message over to you now
