Johnny Mercer
I Want To Be Around (Live at the Apollo Theater, 1967)
I wanna be around to pick up the pieces
When somebody breaks your heart
Some somebody twice as smart as I
Somebody who will swear to be true
As you used to do with me
Who'll leave you to learn
That misery loves company-wait and see
Wait and see
I wanna be around to see how he does it
When he breaks your heart to bits
Darling, let's see if the puzzle fits
You, and you, and you, so fine
Now, that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet
And sit there applauding from a front-row seat
When somebody breaks your heart
Like you broke mine
Sit there applauding from a front-row seat
When somebody breaks your heart
Like you broke mine, oh, mine
Thank you very much, hahahaha
