i kept finding myself wanting to be around someone, no matter what i was doing, it didn't matter "how good of a time" i was having...i knew if they were around, it would be better. and i wondered if they ever thought the same about me, if they ever wondered, where i was, what i was doing, who i was with. i never got my answer...but i did get a song.

Lyrics
i want you around
You ever been somewhere, and wished I was around
Thought maybe, you would be better somehow
If only I was around
Do you catch yourself thinking of me
And where I might be
Are you wondering now
If only I was around
Cause baby, there are times when I am smiling
Having the best time, laughing with friends
And still I wish you were there, holding my hand
Cause if you were around, my eyes would be dancing
And you would know why
I would see the twinkle in your eye too, yeah
Baby, I admit it
I have thought about you
And I want you around
And I want you around
I've wondered how it would be
If you were around
All the what ifs and would bes
All the maybes and should bes
All the questions that tease
Are the times when you see something
And know exactly what I would say and me too
Yeah, it happened today
Yeah I know
If you were around
My eyes would be dancing
And you would know why
I would see the twinkle in your eye too, yeah
Yeah baby, I admit it
I have thought about you
And I want you around
Yeah, I want you around
I want you around, yeah you
I want you around
