I'm gonna be around a long time
I'm gonna be around from now on

I'll be around no matter how you treat me now
I'm gonna be around from now on
(Runaround, runaround, I'll be around)

Your latest love can never last, and when it's passed
I'll be around when she's gone
(Givin' me the runaround)

Goodbye again
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then
Drop a line to say you're feelin' fine

And when things go wrong
Perhaps you'll see you're meant for me
So I'll be around from now on

(She's gonna be around a long time)
(She's gonna be around from now on)
(I'm gonna be around a long time)
(I'm gonna be around from now on)

(I'll be around no matter how you treat me now)
(I'll be around from now on)
(Your latest love can never last, and when it's passed)
(I'll be around when she's gone)

Goodbye again
And if you find a love like mine
Just now and then
Drop a line to say you're feelin' fine

(She's gonna be around a long time)
(She's gonna be around from now on)
I'm gonna be around a long time
I'm gonna be around from now on......FADE
