Before I met you, I had no one
And I could go back to having no one again

He doesn't want me around, he doesn't want me around
He doesn't want me around, he doesn't want me around
He doesn't want me around

Baby, in Bellevue I had no one
And I could go back to being a-lush again
If it would make you proud, if it would make you proud

I know you like to go out and mingle with your friends
He doesn't want me around, he doesn't want me around
He doesn't want me around

And I could change my name, go back to gold lamé
Just like the good old days, tangos and tanqueray

Nothing can hurt me now, nothing can hurt me now
Nothing can hurt me now, nothing can hurt me

Now I will wait for you for three hundred years
I play pretend and put my arm around a man who isn't there

I must be insane and now it seems I found
The one to say that I'm scared
Who doesn't want me around

He doesn't want me around, he doesn't want me around

Ooh, doesn't want me around
He doesn't want me around
He doesn't want me around
Ah, ah
