We won't say a word — unless we write it all down But I don't want nothing, but to have you around Words, they get lost between me and the sound That's why I don't need nothing, but to have you around Oh, I wait for a ghost — an empty chair ♪ If they raise me up, or they cut me down Hey I don't care nothing, but to have you around And I don't even mind if I'm a friend or your clown— Cause I don't want nothing, but to have you around ♪ You cut the cloth of the skin where I'm bound That's why I don't want nothing, but to have you around.
