How Do I Miss You - The Pretenders

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
