Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I
I think I know how I feel
'Cause I
I only play it for real
You should be pickin' me up
Instead you're draggin' me down
You're flyin' over my head
You're landin' all over town
[Verse 2]
You
You know that I try
Try to tell you the truth
Oh baby, don't make me cry
You should be pickin' me up
Instead you're draggin' me down
Now I'm missin' you more
'Cause baby, you're not around
Now that you're not around
[Verse 3]
I
I wanna know how it feels
'Cause I
I only play it for real
You should be pickin' me up
Instead you're draggin' me down
I could be givin' you love
But you're not around
Now that you're not around
[Verse 4]
Now that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Now that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Now that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
[Verse 5]
Now that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Now that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
Now that you're not around
Glad that you're not around
