Lyrics
[Verse 1] Harry was a rich young man who would become a priest He studied with his father who was recently deceased He did it with tarot cards and a mystically attuned mind And shortly therein after he did find Jeanie was a spoiled young brat, she thought she knew it all She smoked mentholated cigarettes and had sex in the hall But she was not my sign, or any other kind Of animal that I would be about [Chorus] But you keep hangin' 'round me And I'm not so glad you found me You're still doing things that I gave up years ago Oh, you're still hangin' 'round me And I'm not so glad you found me You're still hung up on things I gave up years ago [Verse 2] Raymond was a stranger who had come from parts unknown He had no hair upon his head, so he did not use a comb But desperately wished for it, and everyday did bathe And when at last he found himself, his dire was cleaned, was saved Kathy was a bit surreal, she painted all her toes On her face, she wore dentures clamped tightly to her nose And when she finally spoke, her twang, her glasses broke And no one else could smoke while she was in the room [Chorus] But you keep hangin' 'round me And I'm not very glad you found me You're still doing things that I gave up years ago Woah-woah-woah-woah You're still hangin' 'round me And I'm not so glad you found me You're still doing things that I gave up years ago [Verse 3] Hark, the herald angels sang and reached out for a phone And plucking it with ivory hands dialed long distance home But it was all too much sprinkling angel dust To A&T who didn't wish you well, not at all [Chorus] But-But-But you keep hangin' 'round me And I'm not so glad you found me You're still doing things that I gave up years ago Woah-woah-woah-woah You're still hangin' 'round me And I'm not so glad you found me You're still doing things that I gave up years ago [Outro] You're still hangin' 'round me And I'm not, no, no, glad you found me You're still doing things that I gave up years ago No, no, no, no
