How can I miss you, if you won't leave?
How can I love you, if you love me?
How can I convince you that I have no desire;
To be any sort of flame in your fire?
How can I convince you not to stay?
What things can I say, to just make you go away?
Just tell me what foods, you refuse to eat.
And I will have them served to you, my treat.
How can I miss you when you won't go away?
How can I convince you; I don't want you to stay?
I moved all of your things out, on the yard.
But you just smiled at me in the bright-early-dawn, as I noticed a tent on my front-lawn, with you standing there shouting;
"Yes Free-Rent, thanks Don!"
And you knowing all along that my name was Ray.
For the love of God, why did I ever ask her to stay?
How can I miss you when you just won't go away?
