I Wanna Be Around

I Wanna Be Around
music & lyric by Johnny Mercer & Sadie Vimmerstedt

I wanna be around, to pick up the pieces, when somebody breaks your heart;
Some somebody twice as smart as I,
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!

I wanna be around, to see how he/she does it,
When he/she breaks your heart to bits; let's see how the puzzle fits so fine.
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.
