Brenda Lee - I Wanna Be Around Lyrics
I wanna be around, to pick up the pieces
When somebody breaks your heart
Some, somebody twice as smart as I
A somebody who, will swear to be true
Who'll leave you to learn that misery loves company
Wait and see
I wanna be around to see how she does it
When she breaks your heart to bits
Let's see how the puzzle fits so fine
And that's when I'll discover that revenge is sweet
As I sit there applauding from a front row seat
Like you, like you broke mine

Brenda Lee I Wanna Be Around Comments
Beautiful voice and Song ♥
My favorite as a teen too. And remember -- this is 1963! Brenda Lee was only 18 years old when she made this recording!! How many 18 year olds have you heard that could deliver a song like this?
Dinah would be proud and Tony also!
Brenda was my favorite as a kid.Why can't anyone sing any more?
Man I so agree with you.
Como gosto desta cantora!!!
Voz deliciosa...
Bons tempos... ;)
Ms Brenda Lee is good but please take a minute and listen to James Brown, yes the god father of soul
Well Hello! This girl can sing.
Have to love Brenda Lee........what a voice and was just a kid singing those songs..
Thank you for sharing this.....Jim...
Sadie Vimmerststedt was an Ohio widow working in a department store when she wrote Mercer saying she thought "I wanna be around to pick up the pieces" would make a great opening line. Johnny ran with it, and gave her co-credit--and half the royalties. The money allowed her to raise and educate her three daughters, as well as personal opportunities such as travel.
a real torch song. Brenda gives her version the "mature wronged woman" feeling !
Now listen to Julie London "Cry me a river" - similar theme, beautifully sung.
These two ladies knew how to stand there and sing.
this is a great version- bobby darin does a good one also
Words & Music by Johnny Mercer & Sadie Vimmerstedt.
Is this words and lyrics by Johnny Mercer? Love his songs and Brenda has just the voice and style to really give them all they deserve.
This is the best version I've heard.
one of the best
great songs by Brenda
My favourite Brenda Lee song - you could get away with 2 minute singles in those days!
You are very welcome!
A great song, sung so sweetly by Brenda Lee. Sheer delight.
Thank you for these postings.
