George Gershwin - Hangin' Around with You lyrics

Once you would hang around me
Hang 'Round me night and day
I thought that love had found me
When we became that way now
It's a different story you're
Not a one-girl man i
Heard you're in your glory
Playing 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 dearie?
I never know, I never know just where I stand

What's the use of bangin' around with you
Bangin' around with you
Bangin' around with you dearie?
You've got to 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 dearie
You've got to learn
You've got to learn to be yourself

I simply must deny it
I swear it isn't true
My heart is on a diet
Darlin', except for you when
I'm with other damsels rea-
Lly I don't go far
I try to tell those mam'selles
Just what a peach you are
I've been so misunderstood
Though I've tried to be so good

What's the use of hangin' around with you?
Hangin' around with you
Hangin' around with you dearie?
I never know, I never know just where I'm at

What's the use of bangin' around with you
Bangin' around with you
Bangin' around with you dearie?
Oh, I'm afraid you're forcing 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 dearie
You've got to learn
You've got to learn to act your age
