Lyrics How Do I Miss You - The Pretenders

How Do I Miss You

How do I miss you?
How do I miss you?
When you’re gone
When you’re gone
You silly Welsh git
You were sold down the river
Like a slave changing hands
From master to master
The leaves will turn brown
And fall to the ground
And another summer is gone
— Gone is the summer with you
How do I miss you?
How do I miss you?
When you’re gone
When you’re gone
It got so when I looked at you
I did it for a laugh
Now your laughter fills the room
When I’m trying to take a bath
When the chorus of the dawn
Fills the valley with song
Baby what could be wrong?
— My heart is breaking in two
Oh
How do I miss you?
That’s the way
The mighty they fall
Break their legs
And they don’t stand so tall
Bundled up and trussed up were the goods to be delivered
I stood in the doorway
And cried and I shivered
I be walking down the street
To the carnival beat
But I’m dragging my feet
— Because I’m hopelessly blue
Oh
How do I miss you?
How do I miss you?
When you’re gone
When you’re gone
When you’re gone
When you’re gone
