I Miss You

Don't take me for a little boy
Who hates to be alone,
Don't think that my big sad eyes
Are trying to keep you home.
I like to be by myself
As much as you do,
It's just that when you're not around
Baby, I miss you!

Don't think I take your love for granted
Just because you're there,
Don't knock me down for the times
I look like I don't care.
It's just a game I play sometimes
To let you know I do,
While I count the minutes you're not around
Baby, I miss you!

It's a full time occupation
To care the way I do about you,
It's a downright desperation
To miss somebody the way
I miss you!

Don't make me say and do things your way,
Don't lean on me.
Let me love you the best I can,
Just let me be me.
Some may say twenty times a day
"Baby, I love you"
Me, I say it in my own way
"Baby, I miss you!"

Don't take me for a little boy
Who hates to be alone,
Don't think that my big sad eyes
Are trying to keep you home.
It's just a game I play sometimes
To get a message through,
While I count the minutes you're not around
Baby, I miss you!
