Lyrics
Being Around
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I was in the fridge would you open the door?
If I was the grass would you mow your lawn?
If I was your body would you still wear clothes?
If I was booger would you blow your nose?
Where would you keep it?, would you eat it?
I'm just trying to give myself a reason,
For being around.
If I was a front porch swing would you let me hang?
If I was dance floor would you shake your thing?
If I was a rubber check would you let me bounce?
Up and down inside your bank account
Would you trust me, not to break you
I'm just trying really hard to make you
Notice me being around
If I was a haircut would you wear a hat?
If I was a maid could I clean your flat?
If I was the carpet would you wipe your feet?
In time to save me from mud off the street
If you like me, if you loved me
Would you get down on your knees and scrub me
I'm a little grubby from just being around
