I
Jeffrey Osborne Lyrics

This is our fork in the road
This is the point where our relationship takes a decisive turn

Love's last episode
The final stage of our love story

There's nowhere to go, oh no
We have reached a point where there are no options left

You made a choice (should've)
You made a decision, which in hindsight, maybe you shouldn't have

And now it's up to me (ooh)
Now it's my responsibility to handle the situation

To bow out gracefully
To exit the relationship in a dignified manner

Although you hold the key
Even though you have control over the outcome

Whenever you call me, I'll be there
No matter when you reach out to me, I'll be available

Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you desire my presence, I'll be by your side

Whenever you need me, I'll be there
In times of necessity, you can count on me to support you

I'll be around
I'll still be present and available for you

I (should've)
I should have acted differently

I knew just what to say (yeah)
I had the right words to express myself

And now I found out today
But now I've come to realize

All the words just slipped away
I lost the ability to articulate my feelings

I know there's always a chance
I'm aware that there's still a possibility

A tiny spark will remain (oh)
A small glimmer of hope will persist

And sparks turn into flames (ah)
And those sparks can grow into a passionate fire

And love can burn once again
And love can ignite and flourish once more

You know
You are aware

Just call me, call me, call me, ooh yeah
Simply reach out to me, repeatedly if needed

Just call me on the telephone
Just contact me by phone

(Call me)
Contact me

(If you call, then I'll be there)
If you reach out to me, I'll be at your side

(Call me)
Contact me

(If you want my love and care)
If you desire my love and support

(Need me)
Require my presence

Baby, baby, baby, baby I'll be around
My dear, I'll still be here for you

(Don't you know, I'll be around)
Don't you realize that I'll be available

(I'll be around, I'll be around)
I'll be present and accessible

Oh, ohh (call me)
Oh, ohh (contact me)

Ooh I'll be around, I'll be around (if you call)
I'll still be here, I'll still be here (if you reach out)

(Call me, if you want)
(Contact me, if you desire)

Ooh baby, whenever you need me, know I'll be around (need me)
Oh baby, whenever you require my presence, know that I'll be available (require my presence)

(Don't you know) Ohh, I'll be around
(Don't you know) Ohh, I'll be present and accessible

(I'll be around, I'll be around)
(I'll be present and accessible, I'll be present and accessible)

Pick up the phone and dial 911 (call me)
In case of an emergency, call me immediately (contact me)

And I'll come runnin' runnin' runnin' runnin' to ya girl
And I'll rush to you as fast as I can, my dear

Ooh baby, whenever you need me, know I'll be around
Oh baby, whenever you require my presence, know that I'll be available
