Nice To Be Around - Paul Williams

Hello, such a simple way to start a love affair

Should I jump right in and say how much I care?

Would you take me for the madness of a simple-hearted clown?

Hello, with affection from a sentimental fool

From a little girl who’s broken every rule

One who brings me up when all the others seem to let me down

One who’s nice to be around

Should I say that it’s a blue world without you

Nice words I remember from an old love song

But all wrong 'cause I’ve never called it love before

This feeling’s new, it came with you

Oh, and I know that the nicest things have never seemed to last

That we’re both a bit embarrassed by our past

But I think there’s something special in the feelings that we’ve found

And you’re nice to be around, and you’re nice to be around
