Not While I’m Around Lyrics by Michael Ball

The Very Best of Michael Ball - Past & Present

2001

[TOBY]
Nothing's gonna harm you
Not while I'm around
Nothing's gonna harm you
No, sir
Not while I'm around
Demons are prowling
Everywhere
Nowadays
I'll send them howling
I don't care
I've got ways

No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare
Others can desert you
Not to worry
Whistle, I'll be there
Demons'll charm you
With a smile
For a while
But in time
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm
Around

Being close and being clever
Ain't like being true
I don't need to, I won't never
Hide a thing from you
Like some

Demons are prowling
Everywhere
Nowadays
I'll send 'em howling
I don't care
I've got ways

No one's gonna hurt you
No one's gonna dare
Others can desert you
Not to worry
Whistle, I'll be there

Demons'll charm you
With a smile
For a while
But in time
Nothing can harm you
Not while I'm
Around
