WantMe2Stay (feat. Uché & Branford Marsalis)

Takin' up my time

If you want me

I'm gonna be myself

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 burning smiles

Count the days I'm gone

Forget reachin' me by phone

'Cause 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 it straight

How could I ever be late

When you're my woman takin' up my time

I guess I wonder how

I could get out a pocket for fun

When you know that you're never number two

Number one's gonna be number one, yeah

If you want me (you're never gonna be number two)

Come and get me (number one gonna be number one)

If you want me (you're never gonna be number two)

Come and get me, come and get me

Give me that extra love, just chillin' with my crew

Bet you'll never find me with nothing to do

We're jackin' and smackin' with Uché and Branford too

Get this message over to you, now (you know how we do)

When you see me again (yeah)

When you see me again (one more time, baby)

When I see you again (ah, don't you want me to stay)

When you see me again

When I see you again (well, uh)

When you see me again

Next time you see me, don't you leave me this way

Stay, stay, stay, stay (I cannot stay)

Stay, stay, stay, stay

Take it baby

As I'm about to go

And then you'll know

For me to stay here, I've got to be me

I did it my way, far away

I did it my way, by the highway

And if you want me 2 stay

You know that I don't play

So don't funk with me

Not ever again, yeah?
