"I have been hanging around you for days."

"I have been hanging around you for days."

I saw it in a song, but I wonder what it meant because I think that "hanging around with you" sounds better or "hang around you" means "chase you"? Thank you so much as usual and have a good day.

Hi Yes, that's right "Hanging around with you" means that we go about socially, either as a couple or in a group of friends "Hanging around you" just means that I've often been in the same place as you, but you may not be at all interested Dave

Hi

I don't think they're quite the same

"Chase you" means actively doing something to attract the person

There's a George Benson song that uses the lyric. The mood of the song is more "I just want to be near you" rather than actively chasing
