Well it's been about 6 months, 2 weeks about 7 days
that you haven't got a call from him or even have him come your way
tell me what kinda 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 cuz you know he's my best friend
but what am i supposed to do, nothin i do's gonna make him change
(*chorus*)
you can count on me easy as 1,2,3
you can count on me, don't worry about 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
cuz they keep asking her mommy tell us where did daddy go
cuz he wasn't supposed to run and leave just because things weren't right
he had made a vow to you by sayin he was down with you
so now you've come to me girl cuz you know he's my best friend
but what am i supposed to do, nothin i do's gonna make him change
you did everything you could
to try to change his ways
even tried to make it work, still he chose to walk away
baby
(guitar solo)
You can count on me 3x
you know that i'm so so down for you surely, yeah listen now
you can count on me 3x
(*chorus 1x*)
