Once
you would hang around me
Hang
'round me night and day
I thought that
love had found me
When we became that way
Hey now it's a different story
You're not a one-girl man
I've heard you're in your glory
playin' the Dapper Dan
You may tell me you're a saint
But listen to my complaint
What's the use of
hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you deary
I never know
I never know just where I stand
And what's the use of
bangin' around with you
Bangin' around with you
Bangin' around with you deary
You've gotta give
this little girl a bigger hand
You're not acting the beau
that I once used to know
I'm beginning to see
that I'm likely to be
on the shelf
If you want me
hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you deary
You've gotta learn
You've gotta learn to
be yourself
I simply must deny it
I swear it isn't true
My heart is on a diet
Darling except for you
When I'm with other damsels
Really I don't go far
I try to tell those ma'm'selles
Just what a peach you are
Oh I'm so misunderstood
Though I've tried to be so good
Oh what's the use of
hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you deary
I never know
I never know just where I'm at
And what's the use of
bangin' around with you
Bangin' around with you
Bangin' around with you deary
Oh I'm afraid you're forcin' me
to leave you flat
Please don't be in a huff
It was only a bluff
Everything is in vain
If you mean to remain
so upstage
If you want me hangin'
around with you
Hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you deary
You've gotta learn
You've gotta learn to act
Your agent called and
your other gigs fell through
You've gotta learn
You've gotta learn to
act your age
