[Verse 1]
Every day that passes by
I think about the new love you found
And my eyes cloud up and cry
[Chorus]
Because I want you around
I want you around
[Verse 2]
I spend my saddest moments
After the sun goes down
That's when my heart starts aching
[Chorus]
Because I want you around
I want you around
[Verse 3]
No matter where I travel
In the country or a town
My lips call out your name
[Chorus]
Because I want you around
I want you around
Because I want you around
I want you around
Because I want you around
I want you around
Every day that passes by
I think about the new love you found
And my eyes cloud up and cry
[Chorus]
Because I want you around
I want you around
[Verse 2]
I spend my saddest moments
After the sun goes down
That's when my heart starts aching
[Chorus]
Because I want you around
I want you around
[Verse 3]
No matter where I travel
In the country or a town
My lips call out your name
[Chorus]
Because I want you around
I want you around
Because I want you around
I want you around
Because I want you around
I want you around
