How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away

I've talked to your mother and I've talked to your dad

They say they've tried but it's all in vain

I've begged and I've pleaded, I even got mad

Now we must face it, you give me a painHow can I miss you when you won't go away?

Keep telling you day after day

But you won't listen, you always stay and stay

How can I miss you when you won't go away?Your never ending presence really cramps my style

I dream that it won't always be the same

At first I was attracted but after a while

Have you ever heard of the hard-to-get game?How can I miss you when you won't go away?

I keep telling you day after day

But you won't listen, you always stay and stay

How can I miss you when you won't go away?

And I mean it, tooOut of three billion people, why must it be me?

Oh, why, oh, why won't you cut me loose?

Just do me a favor and listen to my plea

I'm not the only chicken on the roostHow can I miss you when you won't go away?

I keep telling you day after day

But you won't listen, you always stay and stay

How can I miss you when you won't go away?
