If You Want Me To Stay lyrics - Red Hot Chili Peppers song

If you want to stay
I'll be around today
To be available for you to see

I'm about to go there
Then you 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 take me for granted and smile

Count the days I'm gone
Forget reachin' me by phone
Cuz I promise I'll be gone for a while

And when you see me again
I hope you'll have been
The kinda person that you really are now

You've got to get it straight
How could I ever be late
When you're a woman takin' 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 #2
#1's gonna be #1

I wish I
Get this message over to you
Over to you now

And if you see me again
I hope that you'll have been
The kinda person
That you really are now

Oh it's all good
I wish I could

Get this message over to you now
(repeat)
