Hanging Around With You

(album: Let Yourself Go - 2001)

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 hanging around with you
Hanging around with you
Hanging around with you, deary
I never know
I never know just where I stand

What's the use of banging around with you
Banging around with you
Banging 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 hanging around with you
Hanging around with you
Hanging around with you, deary
You've gotta learn
You've gotta learn to be yourself

[JASON ALEXANDER]
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 hanging around with you
Hanging around with you
Hanging around with you, deary
I never know
I never know just where I'm at

And what's the use of banging around with you
Banging around with you
Banging around with you, deary
Oh I'm afraid
You're forcing me to leave you flat

[KRISTIN CHENOWETH]
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 hanging around with you

[BOTH]
Hanging around with you
Hanging around with you, deary

[KRISTIN CHENOWETH]
You've gotta learn
You've gotta learn to act

Your agent called
Your other gigs fell through

[BOTH]
You've gotta learn
You've gotta learn to act your age
