Lyrics How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away? - Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks, Dan Hicks

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 pain
How 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, too
Out 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 roost
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?
