How Can I Miss You

(Album: David's Album - 1969)

I talked to your mother and I talked to your dad
They say they've tried, but all in vain
I've begged and I've pleaded
I've even got mad
Now we must face it, you give me a pain

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

Your neverending presence, it really cramps my style
I pray it won't 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 if 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 if you won't go away?

Out of 3 billion people, why must it be me?
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 if 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 if you won't go away?
