Had You Been Around

Richard Jacques, William “Mickey” Stevenson, Bernard Yuffy

[Verse 1]
I might've done a lot of things
Been smiled upon by kings and queens
Had you been around (You been around, you been around)
Perhaps if you'd been by my side
My dreams might not have been denied
Had you been around (You been around, you been around)

[Chorus]
I wasted many years, tasted many tears
And I walked alone (I walked alone, I walked alone)
Lost on my own (Lost on my own)
Before I knew of you

[Verse 2]
I might have heard the sigh
Of someone passing by
Had you been around (You been around, you been around)
And though it seems absurd
I really never heard
A sound

[Chorus]
Until the day you came my way
With pleasures I never found
It all might've have been
Had you been around

Until the day you came my way
With pleasures I never found
It all might've have been
Had you been around
