Pat Parker (born Patricia Cooks; January 20, 1944 – June 17, 1989) was an American poet and activist.

When you asked me what my favorite book was
Didn't expect you to steal it
Bought a new one the very next day coffee stains still in it
I told you once a thousand times
You rolled a blunt and said your fine
But I can tell that you don't mean it
So if I want to leave and
Go follow the seasons
Would you still be there
Still be there
If I fall overboard would you jump out and swim
Keep reaching forward now we're searching for the wind
So if I want to leave and
Go follow the seasons
Would you still be there
Still be there
Still be there
Still be there
Still be there
Still be there
When you asked me what my favorite book was
Didn't expect you to steal it
Would you still be there
Still be there
Still be there
Still be there
Still be there
Still be there
Would you still be there
Still be there
