Song Lyrics

You may not love me now, but I’m staying around
‘Cause you want my company
And just like push can come to shove, like can turn to love
And it’s my philosophy that

If you can want, you can need
If you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
So whenever you want me, I’ll be there
Whenever you want me, I’ll be there

Now this may take some time, and if time was money
I’d would be a millionaire
So whenever you want me call, anytime at all
It’s for sure I’ll be right there

‘Cause If you can want, you can need
If you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
So whenever you want me, I’ll be there
Whenever you want me, I’ll be there

I’ll be standing by, but not far away
Let your heart give me a sign
‘Cause I’m prepared to wait, until that future date
When you want me all the time.

If you can want, you can need
If you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
So whenever you want me, I’ll be there
I said whenever you want me, I’ll be there
Whenever you want me, I’ll be there

You may not love me now, but I’m staying around
‘Cause you want my company
And just like push can come to shove, like can turn to love
And it’s my philosophy

If you can want, you can need
If you can need, you can care
If you can care, you can love
So whenever you want me, I’ll be there
I said whenever you want me, I’ll be there

If you can need, I’ll be there
If you can want, I’ll be there
If you can care, yes I’ll be there
Whenever you want me, I’ll be there
Whenever you want me, I’ll be there
