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
