Chorus:
If you don’t want me
Why do you hang around?
Why do you hang around?
Why do you haunt me
Just like a haunting melody?
What did I do to you?
What did I do to you?
I can’t forget you
What am I going to do
What am I going to do?
I sailed the ocean blue
To get away from you
In every foreign place
I met you face to face
If you don’t want me why do you
Why do you hang around?
