Keep Me Around

[Verse 1] Gaspin' for air, thoughts comin’ in Can't get 'em out, gun to my head Barely see what I been up against I don’t know love, I just want a friend Waiting on that K.O. in a slump again Each June laying low 'til the summer end Used to chase rainbows for the fun of it Takes two to tango, the devil was tryna move But my gaze was across the room And you waved for me to walk towards you Tried not to be hard to talk to I hoped I came off right You were charming, you disarmed me 'fore I ever had a clue And your words were touching to the point that our hands followed suit [Chorus] Have I put myself through enough hell for now? Know it hurts me bad to tеll you why I'm down I can't figure out why you keep me around When I'm causing you troublе Have I put myself through enough hell for now? Know it hurts me bad to tell you why I'm down I can't figure out why you keep me around When I’m causing you trouble [Verse 2] Nowadays the hours pass in a second Short-circuit from your presence taking over my senses Way too nervous when you inching closer on the park bench Attempt to tell you that you’re wonderful, can't finish the sentence Figure out how to love you, confront my shortcomings ’Cause when I let you down there's a pit in my stomach Don't know what could go wrong I just know I'ma worry Can’t help but say sorry like I just learned what the word means [Chorus] Have I put myself through enough hell for now? Know it hurts me bad to tell you why I'm down I can't figure out why you keep me around When I'm causing you trouble Have I put myself through enough hell for now? Know it hurts me bad to tell you why I'm down I can't figure out why you keep me around When I'm causing you trouble [Outro] Yes, we don't do it but that's- that's how people are wired And it takes a lot to be able to say "Okay, this person is somebody that I don't need to have in my life"
