I Wanna Be Around- Artist: Tony Bennett as sung on "Tony Bennett's Greatest Hits, Vol. III" Columbia CL 2313- peak Billboard position # 14 in 1963- Words and Music by Sadie Vimmerstedt and Johnny MercerI wanna be around to pick up the piecesWhen somebody breaks your heartSome somebody twice as smart as IA somebody who will swear to be trueAs you used to do with meWho'll leave you to learnThat mis'ry loves company, wait and seeI mean, I wanna be around to see how he does itWhen he breaks your heart to bitsLet's see if the puzzle fits so fineAnd that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweetAs I sit there applaudin' from a front-row seatWhen somebody breaks your heartLike you, like you broke mineTranscribed by Robin HoodThese lyrics were transcribed from the specific recording mentioned aboveand do not necessarily correspond with lyrics from other recordings, sheetmusic, songbooks or lyrics printed on album jackets.
