Dan Hicks - How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away? lyrics

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 neverending 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 3 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?
