about

This song, the music not the lyrics, will remind some of Steely Dan with its complex chromatic harmony. Fagen/Becker would never, of course, write a lyric this light and uncontroversial. Take note in particular of the superb guitar work by John Adair: both the weirded out electric solo and the beautiful acoustic solo that follows it.

lyrics

I see you there
What do you want me to do?
Act unaware,
Or get right here next to you?
I'll take you away
If that's what you want me to do.
Just point out the way,
I'll act on your every cue.

Chorus:
I'll be around
I'll be there for you
I'll be around
No matter what you do.

Look at me girl
I must look like a fool
Lost in your whirl
Like I'm back in high school
You take me away
With every little thing you do
No I wouldn't stray
Even if you told me to.

Chorus:
