Joe Jackson - When You're Not Around lyrics

You come into my life And then you go away You make me feel like a fool For wanting you to stay But i'm a busy guy A lot of things to do But there's a reason why Some of them just seem to lose their flavor I feel like d**h warmed up I can't taste the coffee in my cup I feel so low i'm underground Every time you're not around And if i didn't feel so high And if i didn't feel so proud Then i wouldn't cry I wouldn't feel so down When you're not around You come and fill me up With ecstasy and pain And then i run on empty 'til i see you again But i've got things to do And places i can go I guess i can't blame you If some of them just seem to feel like nowhere No, i don't feel so great I can't taste the sandwich on my plate I try to sing but there's no sound Every time you're not around And if i didn't feel so high And if i didn't feel so proud Then i wouldn't cry I wouldn't feel so down When you're not around
