Whenever You're Around - Jill Scott, George Duke

Hey

Mmmm hmmm,

Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me,

listen to me Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen…

I’ve been talking to this man

He’s been saying what I like and

He makes me smile,

When I’m down, so down

He says sweet things in my ear

All the things that I needed to hear

But that’s as far as it’s gone

I promise, I promise

But I enjoy it, I love it so Cause it seems like I’m always alone

You’re at arms reach

But baby,

Where are you?

Where are you?

Cause I got this fire

Sweet and true

But I’m cold as ice around you

Cause I’m lonely

Whenever you’re around

Cause I’m lonely

Whenever you’re around

Whoa, whoa, whoa

What happened to the wonderful thing

we had

It seems like you’re missing in action

And I’m tired, I'm tired

I’m tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired

I don’t wanna lose this good life

But I ain’t scared

If I’m going to be the only one participating

in this
