Around My Neck Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hate waking up in an empty bed
I'm only capable of looking through my pictures of you
Got nothing better to do
Call all you want, I'll never let it ring
I'm in the best restaurant, haven't had a bite of the food
I only wanna eat you
I don't really like to brag about it, but it's true

[Chorus]
Nobody does it like you do (You do, you do, you do)
Nothing beats being under you (You do, you do, you do)
Marks on my back, I wonder who (You do, you do, you do)
Would understand what I go through? (You do, you do, you do)
Got your hands around my neck, mama, keep it in check
What do you want done to you?

[Verse 2]
I don't believe in forcing conversations
Honest, I'd rather be in your heavy rotation
Than a guest list, paper wrist
Story that you tell to your friends

I don't rеmember how it started, but I think I'm prеtty sure I know how tonight will end

[Chorus]
Nobody does it like you do (You do, you do, you do)
Nothing beats being under you (You do, you do, you do)
Marks on my back, I wonder who (You do, you do, you do)
Would understand what I go through? (You do, you do, you do)
Got your hands around my neck, mama, keep it in check
What do you want done to you?
[Bridge]
I'll take that tension off your shoulder
Teach me a lesson, take me over
No, I don't really like to brag about it, but it's true

[Chorus]
Nobody does it like you do (You do, you do, you do)
Like you do (You do, you do, you do)
Marks on my back, I wonder who (You do, you do, you do)
Would understand what I go through? (You do, you do, you do)
Got your hands around my neck, mama, keep it in check
What do you want done to you?

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 [?]
