Whenever You're Around (feat. George Duke)

Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me

I've been talkin' to this man, he's been sayin' what I like and

He says sweet things in my ear, all the things I needed to hear

But that's as far as it's gone, I promise, I promise

But I enjoy it, I love it so 'cause it seems like I'm always alone

You're at arms reach but, baby, where are you, where are you?

'Cause I got this fire, sweet and true, but I'm cold as ice around you

'Cause I'm lonely whenever you're around

'Cause I'm lonely whenever you're around

Oh, what happened to the wonderful thing we had?

It seems like you're missing in action and I'm tired, I'm tired

I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I'm tired, I don't wanna lose this good life

But I ain't scared if I'm goin' to be the only one participating in this

'Cause I'm lonely whenever you're around

'Cause I'm lonely whenever you're around

'Cause I'm lonely whenever
