Been Around
T.O.M Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well it's been four lonely days and three lonely nights
Looking for my baby but she's nowhere in sight
See I've traveled far and wide
Seen the finest places
What does it all amount to, when there's no familiar faces
See I've been around the world and I
Been around the world and I
I don't know where she can be
Been around the world and I
I can't find my lover
Been around the world and I
And I can't even find myself
Hey Yeah
Oh oh
Well I don't know where I am
And I don't know who I'm with
All I'm hanging on to is that loving that you give
You see I've lost my sense of time
And I got no direction
Sending out a signal
Been trying to get your attention
See I've been around the world and I
I can't find my lover
Been around the world and I
I don't know where she can be
Been around the world and I
I can't find my lover
Been around the world and I
I can't even find myself
Hey you know what I'm talking about
I ain't the only one who's feeling down and out
No, there's no spaces they clutter up my mind
Those wonderful traces
Suddenly there's no place I can find
My lover my lover
My lover my lover
Yeah yeah ohh
See I've been around the world and I
I can't find my - my lover my lover
Been around
I can't even find myself
See I've been around the world and I
I can't find my lover
Been around the world and I
I don't know where she can be
Been around the world and I
I can't find my lover
Been around the world and I
I don't know where she can be
See I've been around the world and I
I can't find my lover
Been around the world and I
I don't know where she can be
Been around the world and I
I can't find my lover
Been around the world and I
I can't even find myself
Well it's been four lonely days and three lonely nights
Looking for my baby but she's nowhere in sight

Well it's been four lonely days and three lonely nights
It's been four days and nights since my lover left me
Looking for my baby but she's nowhere in sight
I'm searching for my lover, but I can't find her
See I've traveled far and wide
I've gone to many different places
Seen the finest places
I've seen some amazing sights
What does it all amount to, when there's no familiar faces
All these places and sights mean nothing without my lover's presence
See I've been around the world and I
I've searched all over the world and
I can't find my lover
I still can't find my lover
Been around the world and I
Traveled everywhere looking for her and
I don't know where she can be
I have no idea where she could be
And I can't even find myself
I'm so lost without her that I can't even find myself
Well I don't know where I am
I've lost my way and have no idea where I am
And I don't know who I'm with
I'm so lost that I don't even know who I'm around
All I'm hanging on to is that loving that you give
All I have left is the love that my lover gave me
You see I've lost my sense of time
I've lost track of time
And I got no direction
I have no sense of direction
Sending out a signal
Trying to get her attention
Been trying to get your attention
I've been doing everything I can to try and get her attention
Hey you know what I'm talking about
You know how I feel
I ain't the only one who's feeling down and out
I'm not the only one going through this pain
No, there's no spaces they clutter up my mind
My mind is crowded with thoughts of her
Those wonderful traces
Memories of her
Suddenly there's no place I can find
It feels like I have nowhere to turn
My lover my lover
My love, my love
See I've been around the world and I
I've searched far and wide and
I can't find my - my lover my lover
I still can't find my love
Been around I can't even find myself
I'm so lost that I can't even find myself
I don't know where she can be
I have no idea where my love could be
See I've been around the world and I
I've searched everywhere and
I can't find my lover
I still can't find my love
Been around the world and I
Traveled everywhere looking for her and
I don't know where she can be
I have no idea where my love could be
Been around the world and I
Searched all over the world and
I can't find my lover
I still can't find my love
Been around the world and I
Traveled far and wide and
I can't even find myself
I'm so lost that I can't even find myself
Well it's been four lonely days and three lonely nights
It's been four days and nights since my lover left me
