I Want You ’Round Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every day that passes by
I think about the new love you found
And my eyes cloud up and cry

[Chorus]
Because I want you around
I want you around

[Verse 2]
I spend my saddest moments
After the sun goes down
That's when my heart starts aching

[Chorus]
Because I want you around
I want you around

[Verse 3]
No matter where I travel
In the country or a town
My lips call out your name

[Chorus]
Because I want you around
I want you around
Because I want you around
I want you around
Because I want you around
I want you around

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
