[Verse 1]
You've got to get out
But you can't wait for me
You're confused
By possibilities

[Chorus]
But I need you around
Tie my feet to the ground
I need you around
I need you around

[Verse 2]
Thought I had time
To make up for
He lost his friend
Now you've lost yours

[Chorus]
But I need you around
Tie my feet to the ground
I need you around
I need you around

[Bridge]
But how can I say that
I want you to stay when
That would be cruel
And it's just as hard for you?
Can you teach me how again?
[Verse 3]
Not interested
In your interests listed
Get out, get out
Or at least listen

[Chorus]
I need you around
Tie my feet to the ground
I need you around
I need you around

[Bridge]
And how can I say that
I want you to stay when
That would be cruel
And it's just as hard for you?
Can you teach me how again?

[Outro]
Oh, it's just as hard for you
Then when I'm with you
You just watch TV
You've got to get out and
You can't wait for me
