Mtume — Id Rather Be With You

[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...
