How Can I Love You When You Won't Go Away

Dan Hicks

verse 1 I've talked to your mother, Ive talked to your dad They say they've tried but I'ts 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 love 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? verse 2 You're never ending presence really cramps my style I dream that it won't always be the same At first I was attracked, but after a while Have you ever heard of the hard-to- get game? How can I love 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? verse 3 Out of a billion peoople, how did you choose me? Why oh why won't won't you cut me loose? Just do me a favor and listen to my plea I'm not the only chicken in 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 when you won't go away
