THE PRETENDERS
"How Do I Miss You?"

How do I miss you?
How do I miss you?
When you're gone
When you're gone

You silly Welsh git
You were sold down the river
Like a slave changing hands
From master to master
The leaves will turn brown
And fall to the ground
And another summer is gone
- Gone is the summer with you

How do I miss you?
How do I miss you?
When you're gone
When you're gone

It got so when I looked at you
I did it for a laugh
Now your laughter fills the room
When I'm trying to take a bath
When the chorus of the dawn
Fills the valley with song
Baby what could be wrong?
- My heart is breaking in two
Oh

How do I miss you?

That's the way
The mighty they fall
Break their legs
And they don't stand so tall

Bundled up and trussed up were the goods to be delivered
I stood in the doorway
And cried and I shivered
I be walking down the street
To the carnival beat
But I'm dragging my feet
- Because I'm hopelessly blue
Oh

How do I miss you?
How do I miss you?
When you're gone
When you're gone
When you're gone
When you're gone
