[Chorus]
I've been hanging around
Just in case you fall in love with me
I know you have doubts
I hear when you shout
'Cause I understand you see

[Verse 1]
I was concerned when you said
You'd rather wake up dead
Than spend a day with me
I know that's not you
I know and it's true
They don't understand you like I do

[Chorus]
I've been hanging around
Just in case you fall in love with me
I know you have doubts
I hear when you shout
'Cause I understand you see

[Interlude]
Hi, it's me again, yay, I got on parole!
Yeah, um, if you could just, er, pick up the phone
I'd like to talk to you, please!

[Verse 2]
I've seen misery
And have a strange empathy
With the woman who kidnaps her lover
This love ain't a dream
I know it's obscene
The calls that I left for your mother

[Chorus]
I've been hanging around
Just in case you fall in love with me
I know you have doubts
I hear when you shout
'Cause I understand you see

[Interlude]
I love you, too, every day, perhaps someday we could meet
Face to face this time
I'm sorry about that letter I sent you
The newspaper cuttings and stuff and blood

[Chorus]
I've been hanging around
Just in case you fall in love with me
I know you have doubts
I hear you when you shout
'Cause I understand you see
Just tell me that you love me
