Be Around

nobody taught me about the birds and bees

or where they go when it’s time to leave

nobody took me to a church on Sundays

they say you get what you see

so all that I know is

I won’t be hanging around much longer than I ought to

than I should

I don’t need to be around much longer than I will be

around

I don’t listen to the news no more

I just ride my bike to the liquor store

a place for everything, and everything in place

it’ll go on as it did before

so all that I know is

I won’t be hanging around much longer than I ought to

than I should

I don’t need to be around much longer than I will be

around

I’d go along if I could only believe

what do you see, what do you see?

the stakes are high and the talk is cheap

I know what I see

I know what I see

I won’t be hanging around much longer than I ought to

than I should

I don’t need to be around much longer than I will be

around

I don’t need to be around

I don’t need to be around

I don’t need to be around
