Lyrics The Pretenders

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
