I Just Want You Around
Lauryn Hill · Other Songs - Lauryn Hill
I just want you around, I just want you around
Thought that I had lost you
I could hardly make a sound
When I thought I couldnt hold you
Knew the world had let me down
Should have took the time and told you
You keep my feet on the ground
I hope that you can hear me
Cause I know its not profound
I just want you around, I just need you around
I just want you around, I just need you around
When I thought I was without you
I got used to being down
Was my fault I used to doubt you
But that aint me next time around
Please believe me when I tell you
Cause all my words are bound
This is my cross so let me bear it
I was lost but now I am found, found, found
I just want you around, I just need you around
I just want you around, I just need you around
Took this love for granted
Kept my feelings under ground
Should have watered what I planted
Should have known what I had found
Im not used to being lonely
I dont like the way it sounds
You're the only one I know yeah
Who dont turn my upside down
I just want you around, I just need you around
I just want you around, I just need you around
(Repeat to end)
