Don't Come Around - Kate Ceberano

So you’re feeling hungry and haunted

Brother, you gotta stop letting this get you down

Don’t forget to be king even when your queen ain’t around

So what started out good has turned sour

Well the world won’t stand still if you change your mind

You don’t have to be pretend any more to protect someone else

Oh, don’t come around

Don’t come around with your sad ideas and those big old eyes

You better find your sense of humour or you’re going to lose her

Ohh no don’t come around

You get caught up in insignificances

And the littlest thing can become a scene

Receiving abuse on street corners never used to be your thing

Well you err on the side of protection

Always feeling the pain for somebody else

But when there’s no respect for the love that you give that’s a crime

Ohh no don’t come around

Don’t come around with your sad ideas and those big old eyes

You better find your sense of humour or you gonna lose her

Oh no, don’t come around

Don’t come around with your sad ideas and your big old eyes

You better find your sense of humour or you gonna lose her

Yeah

Well, when you feeling hungry and haunted

Brother you gotta stop letting this get you down

Don’t forget to be king even when your queen ain’t around

Remember how it used to be It’s harder these days to persuade you

Don’t forget you’ve got to live without compromising

Don’t you come around

Don’t come around with your sad ideas and those big old eyes

You better find your sense of humour or you gonna lose her

Oh no, don’t come around

Don’t come around with your sad ideas and those big old eyes

You better find your sense of humour or you gonna lose her

Yeah

Don’t come around
