“I Hang Around”

When I saw you at the checkout counter buying paper towels and Lucky Charms, I said, “Wow”!

You stood quite near me you were sweating you’d been running I thought to myself, “Holy cow”!

I realize you’re a special kind of girl. That’s why I hang around.

You wear clothes that really reek of gasoline and toxins well that’s okay.

You don’t wash your hair as often as the other girls but whadda they know anyway?

I realize you’re a special kind of girl. That’s why I hang around.

When we make love and our body parts they coincide just like a dictionary.

Your arms are my arms, your legs are my legs too and every part seems to coincide. Just side by side.

But if you leave I won’t be able to sway my hips. Don’t go. Don’t go away.

My friends they think I’m crazy ’cause I make collections of your noises. I tape record them and put them in

a filing cabinet. With dates on them so that I can remember every little giggle, every little sneeze, every

way you express yourself to me.

I realize you’re a special kind of girl. That’s why I hang around.

I realize you’re a special kind of girl. That’s why I hang around.

Hang around… hang around… hang around
