Count on Me
Oh baby, oh, oh, oh
Oh baby, baby, baby, yeah
Listen to what I'm about to say
Well, it's been about six months, two weeks, 'bout seven days
That you haven't got a call from him or even have him come your way
Tell me what kind of man just gets up and leaves both his wife and kids
That ain't no real man, let me tell you that's no real man
He's not supposed to run and leave just because things aren't right
He made a vow to you in saying he was down with you
So now you've come to me girl 'cause you know he's my best friend
But what am I supposed to do, nothing I do's gonna make him change
You can count on me (easy as one, two, three)
You can count on me (don't worry 'bout a thing)
You can count on me
You know that I'm so, so down for you surely, yeah listen now
Now it's been about a year and still he hasn't shown his face
He hasn't come around, he hasn't even seen his kids
And every day she prays that one day he'll be coming soon
'Cause they keep asking her mommy tell us where did daddy go
'Cause he wasn't supposed to run and leave just because things weren't right
He had made a vow to you by saying he was down with you
So now you've come to me girl 'cause you know he's my best friend
But what am I supposed to do, nothing I do's gonna make him change
You did everything you could to try to change his ways (you did everything you could)
Even tried to make it work, still he chose to walk away, baby
You can count on me (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
You can count on me
You can count on me
You know that I'm so, so down for you surely, yeah listen now
You can count on me (I'm so down for you baby)
You can count on me (oh, oh, oh)
You can count on me (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
You can count on me (easy as one, two, three)
You can count on me (don't worry 'bout a thing)
You can count on me
You know that I'm so, so down for you surely, yeah listen now
