Mariah wrote “To Be Around You” with David Cole for her sophomore studio album Emotions, released in 1991. “I heard David on piano — he's a really gifted piano player,” Mariah said about their collaboration. “That really drew me towards him as a collaborator. So we just sat down together to see which direction we wanted to go in, and just let it flow. I really did enjoy working with them.”
Something that you do
Hypnotizes me
Sets my soul at ease
Every time you're near me
I'm in heaven baby
I don't know how you do it
Never felt like this before
I don't wanna lose it
Give me all your love
(More and more and more)
Something that you do
Mesmerizes me
Sets my body free
Every time you touch me
I'm in heaven baby
I don't know how you do it
Never felt so sweet before
I don't wanna lose it
Give me all your love
(More and more and more)
I just wanna be around you
Tell me are you feeling the same
I just wanna be around you
Every minute of the day
Oh I'm never gonna let you go
Every time you smile
It captivates my mind
And it lifts me to the sky
Anytime you touch me
I'm in heaven baby
I don't now how you do it
Never felt so sweet before
I don't wanna lose it
Give me all your love
I just wanna be around you
Tell me are you feeling the same
I just wanna be around you
Every minute of the day
Oh I'm never gonna let you go
I just want
To be the only one you live for
I just want
To give you all my love
(More and more and more)
I just wanna be around you
Tell me are you feeling the same
I just wanna be around you
Every minute of the day
Oh I'm never gonna let you go
