Once, you would hang around me
Hang, 'round me night and day
I thought that love had found me
When we became that way
Now, it's a different story
You're not a one-girl man
I've heard you're in your glory
Playing the Dapper Dan
You may tell me you're a Saint
But listen to my complaint
What's the use of hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you, deary
I never know
I never know just where I stand
What's the use of bangin' around with you
Bangin' around with you
Bangin' around with you, deary
You've gotta give
This little girl a bigger hand
You're not acting the beau
That I once used to know
I'm beginning to see
That I'm likely to be
On the shelf
If you want me hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you, deary
You've gotta learn
You've gotta learn to be yourself
I simply must deny it
I swear it isn't true
My heart is on a diet
Darling, except for you
When I'm with other damsels
Really, I don't go far
I try to tell those ma'm'selles
Just what a peach you are
Oh I'm so misunderstood
Though I've tried to be so good
Oh, what's the use of hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you, deary
I never know
I never know just where I'm at
And what's the use of bangin' around with you
Bangin' around with you
Bangin' around with you, deary
Oh I'm afraid
You're forcing me to leave you flat
Please don't be in a huff
It was only a bluff
Everything is in vain
If you mean to remain so upstage
If you want me hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you, deary
You've gotta learn
You've gotta learn to act
Your agent called
Your other gigs fell through
You've gotta learn
You've gotta learn to act your age
