When I Come Around Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I heard you crying loud
All the way across town
You've been searching for that someone and it's me out on the prowl
As you sit around feeling sorry for yourself
Well, don't get lonely now
And dry your whining eyes
I'm just roamin' for the moment, sleazin' my backyard, so don't get
So uptight, you've been thinking about ditching me

[Chorus]
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around

[Verse 2]
Oh, I heard it all before
So don't knock down my door
I'm a loser and a user, so I don't need no accuser
To try and slag me down because I know you're right
So go do what you like
Make sure you do it wise
You may find out that your self-doubt means nothing was ever there
You can't go forcing something if it's just not right

[Chorus]
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
Hoo

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around

[Outro]
When I come around
When I come around
When I come around
