But 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 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 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 out a pocket for fun
When you know that you're never number two.  Number one's gonna be number one


I'll be good, I wish I could    Get this message over to you now

solos.

And when you see me again I hope that you have been The kind of person that you really are now
