PHRASAL VERB FRIDAY: 'COME AROUND' AND TOM PETTY LYRICS

Hello everyone! I hope you have had a good week!

Every Friday during the month of April, we looked at definitions of the phrasal verb COME ROUND. We noted that COME ROUND is more of a British expression and that it is more common to say COME AROUND in American English. 

Today, we are looking at the expression COME AROUND in the Tom Petty song "Don't Come Around Here No More." In this song, the artist uses the definition "to visit" for the phrasal verb COME AROUND. We looked at this meaning in April. Click on the following link to see that lesson.

Below are the lyrics. Notice that he also uses the phrasal verb GIVE UP. Do you know its meaning? 

DON'T COME AROUND HERE NO MORE (Tom Petty)

Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Whatever you're looking for
Hey! don't come around here no more

I've given up, I've given up
I've given up on waiting any longer
I've given up, on this love stronger

I don't feel you any more
you darken my door
Whatever you're looking for
Hey! don't come around here no more

I've given up, I've given up
I've given up, you tangle my emotions
I've given up, honey please admit it is over

[Chorus]

Stop walking down my street
Who do you expect to met?
Whatever you're looking for
Hey! don't come around here no more

Have a great day and an excellent weekend!
