Not Around

[Intro]
Girl, I know we've been havin' rough times lately, and uh
I know you've been thinkin' about leavin' me too
But I hope you don't, baby
I hope you don't

[Verse 1]
Girl, I'm not gonna send no more emails, no
And I'm not gonna send text messages
Girl I'm gonna sit down with a ball point pen
And I'm gonna write a letter to you, to say just how I feel

[Pre-Chorus]
(Like a fish out of water, girl I) Girl, I can't breathe
(Like in a phone booth without a quarter, girl I)
Girl I'm lost like a ship, without a sail, and that's how I feel
Whenever you're not around, baby, please don't go

[Chorus]
My love is deeper than the ocean
And wider than the sky but I'm nothin'
(Without you here)
I'm on my knees, baby
Beggin' and prayin' girl, I'm hopin'
(Girl, I'm hopin' that you'll stay here, yeah)
Baby please don't leave
Oh 'cause I'm not the same whenever you're not around

[Verse 2]
I know what it means when
They say two shall become one
'Cause since you've been gone
Girl, I've been so undone
Girl, I miss all those simple things
Kissin' and cuddlin', listenin' to rain
As it falls on our window pane
Girl I wanna cry, 'cause without you I

[Pre-Chorus]
(Like a fish out of water, girl I) Whoa, Lord, girl, I can't breathe, no
(Like in a phone booth without a quarter, girl I) Whoa
Girl I'm lost like a ship, without a sail, and that's how I feel
Whenever you're not around, my love

[Chorus]
My love is deeper than the ocean
And wider than the sky but I'm nothin'
(Without you here)
I'm on my knees, baby
Beggin' and prayin' girl, I'm hopin'
(Girl, I'm hopin' that you'll stay here, yeah)
Baby please don't leave
'Cause I'm not the same whenever you're not around

[Bridge]
I don't know what to do with my time
When you're not standing here by my side
I don't know where to go, time goes so slow
When you're not around
Girl I don't know how to dress without you
There's no one to impress except you
You see this much I know
It's written in a stone, so baby girl, don't go, don't go, don't go

[Chorus]
My love is deeper than the ocean
And wider than the sky but I'm nothin'
(Without you here)
I'm on my knees, baby
Beggin' and prayin' girl, I'm hopin'
(Girl, I'm hopin' you'll stay here, yeah)
Baby please don't leave
'Cause I'm not the same whenever you're not around
My love is deeper than the ocean
And wider than the sky but I'm nothin'
(Without you here)
I'm on my knees, baby
Beggin' and prayin' girl, I'm hopin'
(Girl, I'm hopin' you'll stay here, yeah)
Baby please don't leave
'Cause I'm not the same whenever you're not around

[Outro]
When you're not with me, my girl
My-my-my-my-my girl
When you're not around
When you're not around
When you're not around
When you're not around
