When I Come Around (Live FM Broadcast Remastered) Lyrics
Green Day
Lyrics
Oh I heard you cryin' 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 roaming for the moment
Sleazing my backyard so don't get
So uptight you've been thinking about ditching me
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
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 yourself doubt
Means nothing was ever there
You can't go forcing somethin' if it's just not right
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around
Oh, when I come around
Oh, when I come around
When I come around
