Baby, I'm going out of town
To handle some business for a few days
But don't you worry 'cause I'll call you
Like it's not long distance
'Cause I hate being away
I hate being away from you
I gotta go even though I don't want to
I'd rather stay than to be away from you
Since absence has been known
To make the heart grow fonder
Then you know that I miss you
And this song is just a reminder
I hate being away
I hate being away from you
I've gotta go even though I don't want to
I'd rather stay than be away from you
I can't wait to see your smiling face
And cuddle up in front of the fireplace
I'd rather stay than be away from you
Sometimes I find myself reaching for you
When talking on the phone is all we can do
But it won't be long until I'm back to you
I'm counting the seconds
The minutes, the hours, the days
Until we're face to face
'Cause I hate being away
I hate being away from you
I gotta go even though I don't want to
I'd rather stay than to be away from you
I can't wait to see your smiling face
And cuddle up in front of the fireplace
I'd rather stay than be away from you
I hate being away from you
I gotta go even though I don't want to
I'd rather stay than to be away from you
I can't wait to see your smiling face
And cuddle up in front of the fireplace
I'd rather stay than be away from you
