I Want You Around Lyrics

On this day, I'm walking a fine line
Imagining my minds fine, ok
Tougher than nylon, safe as a house on the way

My little darling don't you cry, it makes you look older
Come on now hey, don't you be down
I want you around, I want you around
I want you around

Here's my plan, I'm losing the halo
It's time to lay low man, some plan
Come the high water
I'll be your drowning man

My little darling don't you cry, it makes you look older
Come on now hey, don't you be down
I want you around, I want you around
I want you around, I want you around
I want you around

While I'm doing battle with myself and me
I'm doing battle with gravity
And I can't face myself alone
I can't bear to be alone with me

Hey don't you be down
I want you around, I want you around
I want you around, I want you around
I want you around, I want you around
I want you around, I want you around
I want you around, I want you around
I want you around, I want you around

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
