"When I Come Around"

Oh, I heard you cryin' 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 whinin' 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

Oh, I 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 yourself doubt means nothing was ever there

You can't go forcing somethin' 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

Oh, when I come around

Oh, when I come around

When I come around
