Johnny Mercer
I Wanna Be Around
[Verse 1]
I wanna be around to pick up the pieces
When somebody breaks your heart
Some somebody twice as smart as I

[Chorus]
A somebody who will swear to be true
Like you used to do with me
Who'll leave you to learn
That mis'ry loves company, wait and see

[Verse 2]
I wanna be around to see how she does it
When she breaks your heart to bits
Let's see if the puzzle fits so fine

[Pre-Chorus]
And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat
When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine

[Chorus]
A somebody who will swear to be true
Like you used to do with me
Who'll leave you to learn
That mis'ry loves company, wait and see
[Verse 3]
I wanna be around to see how she does it
When she breaks your heart to bits
Let's see if the puzzle fits so fine

[Outro]
And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat
When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine
When somebody breaks your heart like you broke mine
