I Wanna Be Around lyrics

I wanna be around to pick up the pieces

When somebody breaks your heart

Some somebody twice as smart as I

A somebody who will swear to be true

As you used to do with me

Who'll leave you to learn

That misery loves company, wait and see

I mean, I wanna be around to see how he does it

When he breaks your heart to bits

Let's see if the puzzle fits so fine

And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet

As I sit there applaudin' from a front-row seat

When somebody breaks your heart

Like you, like you broke mine
