Be Around Me

Does he take you by the hand,

When he knows that you’re scared?

Does he hold you through the night,

Or does he only move away ?

Does he write love letters addressed to you

Just like I’m doing now?

It’s so sad to hear that you are

Not as happy as you might

Be around me

when you’re walking in a straight line

so bored by what’s around

does he lead to new directions

to the kind of places you might like?

Does he kiss you on the forehead,

And make you laugh with a bad old joke?

It’s so sad to hear that you are

Not as happy as you might

Be around me

Be around me

I’m just telling you girl

Be around me

Does he kiss you with passion,

And somehow tenderly at the same time?

Does he make you happy?

Will I make you happy?

I’ll certainly work for it

I’ll certainly give you my best

Just be around me
