When I Come 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.
I heard you crying loud all the way across town
You've been searching for that someone
And it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around, feeling sorry for yourself
Well, don't get lonely now and dry your whining eyes
I'm just roaming for the moment
Sleazin' my backyard, so don't get
So uptight, you've been thinking about ditching me
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
I've heard it all before, so don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user, so I don't need no accuser
To try and slag me down
Because I know you're right
So go do what you like, make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self-doubt
Means nothing was ever there
You can't go forcing something if it's just not right
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
When I come around
When I come around
When I come around
