lyrics

I wanna be around
To know what’s on your mind
I wanna be around
To play this role for you
I wanna be around
To call on you anytime
I wanna be around you more
I do
More

I wanna be around
The smell of your skin
The taste of your lips
And I wanna hear your sounds

I wanna be around
The spell of your sin
The shape of your hips
And I wanna lay you down
I wanna be around
To tell you again
Only this time
I wanna say it out loud
I wanna be around you more
More

What can I do
If I can’t take it
When you leave?
Since I found you
It’s easy to see
That I just seem to wanna be
Around you more
More

Can you be around
When I say
What’s on my mind
Can you be around
The shape I’m in
Can you be around
When I fall for this
Every time
Cause I will be down
Whatever state your in

What could I do?
I had to change
I couldn’t live
Without you
Now I can see
That we just each have
Different needs
And you don’t wanna be
Around me anymore
No you don’t wanna be around
more

I wanna be around you more
I wanna be around you more
I wanna be around you more
More than you wanna be around
More
More than you wanna be
More than you wanna be around.
More than you wanna be around

I wanna be around you more
Cause I can’t take it
When you leave
More than you wanna be around
We just each have
Different needs
I wanna be around you more
I just seem to wanna be
Around you more
More than you wanna be around
