[Verse 1]
And my mother is standing beside me
As I'm packing my bags in the car
She says, "Please, boy, no more fighting
Oh, it's only gonna do you harm"
[Chorus]
But I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
Oh boy
[Verse 2]
And my brother is standing behind me
As I'm slowly going out my head
He says, "You know those people don't like me
Why'd you wanna be one of them?"
[Chorus]
But I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
[Bridge]
Oooh, I wish I could find somebody
That my mother would like
Oooh, I wish I can find somebody
That could treat me right
[Chorus]
But I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
Singing, I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
Thinking, I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
Thinking, I can't help it, I don't know how
I guess I'll always be hanging around
With the wrong crowd
