Kate Ceberano - Don't Come Around Lyrics

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

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
