I’ll be around no matter how you treat me now,
I’ll be around from now on.
Your latest love can never last,
And when it’s past, i’ll be around when she’s gone.
Goodbye again and if you find a love like mine,
Just now and then drop a line
To say you’re feeling fine.
And when things go wrong,
Perhaps you’ll see you’re meant for me,
So, i’ll be around when she’s gone.
I’ll be around no matter how you treat me now
I’ll be around from now on
Your latest love can never last, and when it’s past
I’ll be around when she’s gone
Goodbye again, and if you find a love like mine
Just now and then, drop me a line to say you’re feeling fine
And when things go wrong, perhaps you’ll see you’re meant for me
So i’ll be around when she’s gone
Just now and then, drop me a line to say you’re feeling fine
And when things go wrong, perhaps you’ll see you’re meant for me
So i’ll be around when she’s gone
I’ll be around,
No matter how
You treat me now
I’ll be around from now on.
Your latest love
Can never last,
And when its past,
I’ll be around when he’s gone
Good-bye again,
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then,
Oh drop a line to say you `re feeling fine
And when things go wrong
Perhaps you’ll see
You’re meant for me
So i’ll be around when he’s gone.
Good-bye again,
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then,
Oh drop a line to say your feeling fine
And when things go wrong
Perhaps you’ll see
You’re meant for me
So i’ll be around when he’s gone.

Saw your picture in the morning paper
Bet your mama sure is proud
You finally found you a real straight lacer
All your dreams are finally gettin’ buttoned down
Girl, you know that i know you too well
Before you cut the cake, before you ring that bell
I’ll be around, around about the time
You’re wishin’ for a friday evening with the ragtop down
I’ll be around, around like a second hand tickin’
In the nick of time, let me make you mine
When you long to feel the wind in your hair
When your choices seem a little too square
I’ll be around
I’ll be around
Girl, you never did like vanilla
You were more of the rocky road kind
You hated princes and cinderellas
Gravitated more to bonnies and clydes
Girl, i wish you happiness
But if you ever find that the show don’t fit
I’ll be around, around about the time
You’re wishin’ for a friday evening with the ragtop down
I’ll be around, around like a second hand tickin’
In the nick of time, let me make you mine
When you long to feel the wind in your hair
When your choices seem a little too square
I’ll be around
I’ll be around
Girl, you know that i know you too well
Before you cut the cake, before you ring that bell
I’ll be around, around about the time
You’re wishin’ for a friday evening with the ragtop down
I’ll be around, around like a second hand tickin’
In the nick of time, let me make you mine
When you long to feel the wind in your hair
When your choices seem a little too square
I’ll be around
I’ll be around
Girl, i’ll be around

Hey boy – did you find out
Whatcha had to know – ‘n what it’s all about
When you started to move – just a step at a time
You never wanted to fall
You took a chance on the wild side
Hey, girl – can’tcha come down
Are ya way at the top – afraid of somethin’ you found
Then you try to go back – not as easy to do
Did you find who you are
From a dance on the wild side
I know sometimes it’s hard for you
To keep your feet upon the path that you’ve chosen
It’s not for you to walk alone
Together we can take this road where it’s going – hang on
Chorus 1:
Stand by me – stand right here
The time has come to say it clear
Now don’t give up – but don’t give in
We will stand together to the end
And i’ll be around – i’ll be around, yeah
No joke – the sooner you find
It happens all the same – for every mother’s child
When you walk in the dark – then you stumble and fall
It’s a part of it all
When we dance on the wild side
But everybody needs someone
Who loves ‘em through the toughest times – while they’re growing – yah
Who keeps a candle burning
When the darkness covers up the path where they’re going – hang on
Chorus 2:
Stand by me – stand right here
The time has come to say it clear
Now don’t give up – don’t give in
We will stand together to the end
And i’ll be around – come what may
Heaven hears us when we pray
So don’t give up – but don’t give in
We will stand together to the end
I will be there, my good friend
And i’ll be around
Be around, i’ll be around…
I’ll walk this road with you
Wherever it may wind
And i’ll be around
Chorus 2
I see you, see right through you
Your silent charade
That keeps you from feeling your pain
You’ve been stained and left to blame
And misunderstood
You doubt anyone sees what they should, but …
Chorus
I promise i’ll be around
That’s what my love’s all about
Standing by you when you’re down
I promise i’ll be around
I see you, as you were me
Open and running free
Believing in everything
You still the same one, just undone
And wiser for what’s to come
And ready again to loved
Repeat chorus
Bridge
And all the nights, out in the cold
Way beyond those fears, oh no one knows
Believe that every time
Your heart is broken down
I’ll pick you up off the ground
Repeat chorus 3x
(alec wilder)
I’ll be around
No matter how you treat me now
I’ll be around
When she’s gone
Your latest love
Will never last
And when it’s past
I’ll be around when she’s gone
Goodbye again
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then
Drop a line to say (that) you’re feeling fine
And when things go wrong
Perhaps you’ll see you’re meant for me
And i’ll be around when she’s gone
I’ll be around
When she’s gone
I’m sorry if i tell you that you don’t smell like roses
I’m tired of all the hypocrisy and all your silly poses
But honey what i tell you is the truth
So don’t turn away
When i said i accepted you
I was here to stay
And i’ll be around
I’ll be around
I’ll be around
Oh, i’ll be around
I’m sorry if i offended you
But don’t walk away
But someone’s gotta speak the truth
About the things you say
You can’t just dog everybody
Who’s supposed to be your friend
Cause honey your dish is full
And your leash is waitin’ on a friend
And i’ll be around
I’ll be around
I’ll be around
Oh, i’ll be around
I’ll be around
Out on the town
I’ll be around
Oh, i’ll be around
I’ll be around
I can always be found
Cause i’ll be around
I’ll be around
I’ll be around
