Lyrics

Around

Two hands to the sky
Two feet on the ground
I'm just bein' present, babe
That's all I'm about
Call me your new friend
I like how the sound
And there's no agenda, girl
That's just what I found
I don't mind
Everyone around you in your orbit must be ridiculous
So it's alright
Ain't no pressure, I'm not pressin' on you
I won't mention us
What if I'm just, I'm just around? (Just around?)
What if I'm just, I'm just around? (Just around?)
What if I'm just (just), I'm just around? (Just around?)
What if I'm just (just), I'm just around? (Just around?)
To be around (be around, be, yeah)
I'm just around (around, around, around)
I'm just around (around, around, around)
I'm just around
To be around
To be around
And I don't want you to think it's serious
'Cause I don't know what that means to ya
But if you keep me in mind (oh)
Know you're used to thinkin' love's dangerous
Used to people being mysterious
Ain't on that time
I just wanna be sweet to you, bad
Make you cum, make you laugh
You deserve things like that
I just wanna show you I'm pure
Through all I've endured
Even if I'm not yours
I don't mind
Everyone around you in your orbit is so ridiculous (ridiculous, 'diculous)
So that's alright
Ain't no pressure, I ain't' pressin' on you
I'll never mention us (yeah, yeah)
What if I'm just, I'm just around? (Just around?)
What if I'm just, I'm just around? (Just around?)
What if I'm just (just), I'm just around? (Just around?)
What if I'm just (just), I'm just around? (Just around?)
To be around (be around, be, yeah)
I'm just around (around, around, around)
I'm just around (around, around, around)
I'm just around
To be around
To be around
Oh, yeah
To be, to be, to be around
To be around, yeah
