miss you
Bainbridge Merril Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was only happy when you drove me crazy
Everything about you made me feel so lazy
I never felt so good and yet I feel so bad
You were the strangest lover that I ever had

But now I miss you
Yes, I miss you now you're gone
You were always telling me just
What I should wear
I was always combing all the knots
From your hair
You're like a fisherman
Your hook could pull me in
Put me in a fry pan couldn't wait
To burn my skin but now I miss you

But now I miss you
Yes I miss you now you're gone
Every Sunday we would laugh a lot
Making love and breakfast in bed
You were grumpy when you had to get up
I would have to toss a coin
To see who'd make the bed

I remember when you
Broke my favourite tea cup
You'd just smile that silly smile
It made me upset
We used to fight a lot but
What a time we had
And when I think about those days
They're not so bad
'Cause now I miss you
Yes I miss you
I'll always miss you
Now you're gone





La la la la la .......
