I had a chance to think Since you’ve been away I’ve been down everything on my mind Concerning you and I and our love (And if it’s growing) My feelings all seem to lead back To that same old thought That is “I love you and I really can’t do without you” But when you’re gone, sometimes I feel like loving another
When you’re far away I can’t get close to you I don’t feel wanted and secure When you’re far away There’s no one else around I love you boy, I need you here Come close to me (Want you baby, won’t you stay here with me)
My love for you is strong But it can’t make up for the distance That you put between us when you leave Each time you go I wanna beg you to stay or take me with you Life is much too short To be waiting around for you to be with me Don’t you understand that I want you (And I know that you want me) But when you’re gone It doesn’t seem to help my feelings
When you’re far away I can’t get close to you When you’re far away I don’t feel wanted and secure When you’re far away There’s no one else around To love me boy, I need you here
When you’re far away When you’re far away I don’t feel wanted and secure When you’re far away There’s no one else around To love me boy, I need you here
When you’re far away When you’re far away When you’re far away When you’re far away
My love for you is strong But it can’t make up for the distance That you put between us when you leave Each time you go I wanna beg you to stay or take me with you Life is much too short To be waiting around for you to be with me Don’t you understand that I want you (And I know that you want me) But when you’re gone It doesn’t seem to help my feelings
When you’re far away (When you’re far away) When you’re far away (When you’re far away) When you’re far away No one else around (When you’re far away) I want you boy, I need you here Ooh, come close to me [repeat with ad-libs till fade]
