Mind If I Hang Around
Keith Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You want someone
Who's handsome and tall
One that I don't
Resemble at all
He'll take you in his arms I guess
And take you to a fine address
I'm not a living dream I know
But I can't help it, I love you so

I hope you find him
I hope you do
I hope you keep him
I hope he's true
I hope you find him, baby
But 'till you do
Mind if I kinda hang around
(Hang around you)

You'll see him coming
In a big long car
Friends will see
How lucky you are
Everything that you want he'll be
Things that a man can never be
Your girl knows what she wants
What if you're not the girl he wants

I hope you find him
I hope you do
I hope you keep him
I hope he's true
I hope you find him, baby
But 'till you do
Mind if I kinda hang around
(Hang around you)
Just wanna hang around, baby (hang around you)
I just wanna hang around, baby (hang around you)




Oh, please, please let me hang around (hang around you)
Oh please, please, please let me hang around you (hang around you)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Keith's song "Mind If I Hang Around" convey a sense of longing and unrequited love. The singer expresses their desire for someone who is handsome and tall, qualities they feel they lack. They imagine this person sweeping their love interest off their feet, taking them to luxurious places. However, the singer knows they are not the embodiment of a perfect partner, yet they cannot help but love the person deeply.


The singer's hope is bittersweet. They hope their love interest finds the person they are looking for, someone who fulfills all their desires and is faithful. However, they also express their desire to hang around and be a part of the love interest's life until they find this person. It is a vulnerable plea, asking for permission to stay close even though they may not be the one the love interest ultimately chooses.


These lyrics capture the complexities of unrequited love, the struggle between wanting someone to be happy and wanting to be the person who makes them happy. It portrays the vulnerability and self-awareness of the singer, as well as their willingness to wait and be present in the love interest's life.
