Johnny Mercer
I Wanna Be Around
I wanna be around to pick up the pieces
When somebody breaks your heart
Some somebody twice as smart as I!
A somebody who
Will swear to be true
Like you used to do with me
Who will leave you to learn
That misery loves company
Wait and see!
I wanna be around to see how he does it
When he breaks your heart to bits
Let's see if the puzzle fits so fine!
And that's when I'll discover
That revenge is sweet
As I sit there applaudin'
From a front row seat
When somebody breaks your heart
Like you broke mine!
