Artist/Band: Dolly Parton
Lyrics for Song: I Don't Want You Around Me Anymore
Lyrics for Album: The World of Dolly Parton, Vol. 2 [Columbia] [1988]



(Dolly Parton - Bill Owens)



You think you're so smart you think I should throw my heart

Down at yout feet everytime that you walk by

But I I've got news for you cause I don't care for you

And I don't care honey if you love me or not.



If you were half as smart as you think you are

The world would be a standin' at your door

But I I won't be there cause I no longer care

And I don't want you around me anymore.



--- Instrumental ---



Because you can't have your way you tell me everyday

I should grow up stop acting like a child

But I I think it's you that's got some growing to do

And honey I think it's gonna take you quite a while.



If you were half as smart as you think you are

The world would be a standin' at your door

But I I won't be there cause I no longer care

And I don't want you around me anymore...


I Don't Want You Around Me Anymore

Released on The World of Dolly Parton, Vol. 2 in 1988, this track exemplifies Parton's mastery of country-pop balladry during her late-career resurgence. The recording features her signature vocal clarity and emotive delivery, characteristic of her work on Columbia Records in the late eighties. Thematically, the song explores the complexities of moving on from a relationship, a subject she has addressed with poignancy throughout her discography. As part of her extensive catalog, the track stands alongside other notable compositions that highlight her ability to blend traditional storytelling with contemporary pop sensibilities. It remains a testament to her enduring influence on the genre and her capacity to craft timeless melodies that resonate across generations of listeners.
