Whenever You're Around Lyrics


Hey, mmm mmm, listen to me
Listen to me, listen to me
Listen to me, listen to me
Listen to me, listen to me, listenI've been talkin' to this man
He's been sayin' what I like
And he makes me smile
When I'm down, so downHe says sweet things in my ear
All the things that I needed to hear
But that's as far as it's gone
I promise, I promiseBut I enjoy it, I love it so
'Cause it seems like I'm always alone
You're at arms reach
But baby, where are you, where are you?'Cause I got this fire sweet and true
But I'm cold as ice around you
'Cause I'm lonely whenever you're around
'Cause I'm lonely whenever you're aroundWhat happened to the wonderful thing we had?
It seems like you're missin' in action
And I'm tired, I'm tired

I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tiredI don't wanna lose this good life but I ain't scared
If I'm gonna to be the only one participatin' in this
'Cause I'm lonely whenever you're around
'Cause I'm lonely whenever you're around
'Cause I'm lonely whenever

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
