JUST GOT TO HAVE HIM AROUND
Redd Evans / David Mann

as recorded by Helen Forrest 
with Earl Hagen & his Orchestra  
June 16th 1949


Sometimes I love him,
Sometimes I hate him,
But there's just one thing I've found;
That whenever he leaves me,
I'm nothin' at all,
And I've just got to have him around!

My friends ask questions,
Give me suggestions
To keep both feet on the ground,
But I've tried it,
Why hide it?
He sees through it all,
And I've just got to have him around!

Oh I can't understand it,
He must have planned it
To make me love him like this!
Though I should go now,
I can't say no now,
See what can follow a kiss!

My mind grows hazy,
I must be crazy
To let him push me around!
But whatever, I love him,
I'm his after all
And I've just got to have him around!
There's somethin' about him,
I can't do without him,
I've just got to have him around!
