I’d Rather Be With You

Bootsy Collins, George Clinton, Gary Mudbone Cooper

[Intro]
(pouring champagne, phone rings)
- Oh, excuse me... hello?
- Why does it take you so long?
- I was doing, uh...
- Yeah, look, look. Listen, we've been missing each other for some time now. And I don't know what to do about it
- Mhm, I know, but...
- Look, the travel, the job–it all keeps me away from you. I realize I haven't been all I could or should be, and I really wouldn't blame you for seeing someone else
- You know, we get involved in so many things, we get caught up giving things, buying things, in place of love and affection...
- But I bought you those things, because I care!
- You bought thosе things, because you're not hеre
(in the background: "Where do you keep the ice?")
- I'd rather be with you...

[Chorus]
I'd rather be with you, yeah
Yes, I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you, yeah (rather be with you)
Yes, I'd rather be with you

[Verse 1]
I'd rather be with you until I'm thru, oh yes I do
I'd rather be with you until that day we'll fly away
I just love your smilin' face, in the early sun
If I can't have you to myself, then life's no fun

[Chorus]
I'd rather be with you, yeah
Yes, I'd rather be with you
(Rather be with you) I'd rather be with you, yeah
Yes, I'd rather be with you (with you)

[Verse 2]
I'd rather be with you until I'm thru, oh yes I do
I wanna be your friend, not now and then, but 'til the end
I'm livin' and lovin', waitin' for the moment
When we've got time to give
And if I can't get to love you, what's a telephone bill?

[Outro]
I'd... rather be, rather be, rather be
Rather be, rather be, rather be
Ooh, ooh, yes...
