Hangin' Around With You from Strike Up the Band, 1930 - Vocal

Once, you would hang around me
 Hang, 'round me night and day
 I thought that love had found me
 When we became that way
 Now, it's a different story
 You're not a one-girl man
 I've heard you're in your glory
 Playing the Dapper Dan
 You may tell me you're a Saint
 But listen to my complaint
 What's the use of hangin' around with you
 Hangin' around with you
 Hangin' around with you, deary
 I never know
 I never know just where I stand
 What's the use of bangin' around with you
 Bangin' around with you
 Bangin' around with you, deary
 You've gotta give
 This little girl a bigger hand
 You're not acting the beau
 That I once used to know
 I'm beginning to see
 That I'm likely to be
 On the shelf
 If you want me hangin' around with you
 Hangin' around with you
 Hangin' around with you, deary
 You've gotta learn
 You've gotta learn to be yourself
 I simply must deny it
 I swear it isn't true
 My heart is on a diet
 Darling, except for you
 When I'm with other damsels
 Really, I don't go far
 I try to tell those ma'm'selles
 Just what a peach you are
 Oh I'm so misunderstood
 Though I've tried to be so good
 Oh, what's the use of hangin' around with you
 Hangin' around with you
 Hangin' around with you, deary
 I never know
 I never know just where I'm at
 And what's the use of bangin' around with you
 Bangin' around with you
 Bangin' around with you, deary
 Oh I'm afraid
 You're forcing me to leave you flat
 Please don't be in a huff
 It was only a bluff
 Everything is in vain
 If you mean to remain so upstage
 If you want me hangin' around with you
 Hangin' around with you
 Hangin' around with you, deary
 You've gotta learn
 You've gotta learn to act
 Your agent called
 Your other gigs fell through
 You've gotta learn
 You've gotta learn to act your age
