The Young Lions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you left me for dead with a broken heart
you never called
not even a letter
but since you been gone things got so much better
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you (I ain't kissing you)
I ain't missing you
you see now baby
I'm not the one crying
outside you're smiling
but inside you're dying
I got a new girl
I'm so glad I met her
because now that you're gone
things are so much better
I and missing you
I ain't missing you (I ain't kissing you)
I ain't missin' - you're outta love
you're too late for feeling blue
its you're fault that we are through
you found a new guy in 5 years or so
I'd like to stay and talk but I gotta go baby
Feeling good I got no regret
because since you been gone things are so much better
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you (I ain't kissing you)
I ain't missing you
you're outta love (I ain't missing you)
I ain't missing you (I ain't kissing you)
I ain't missing you
you're outta love - ain't coming home baby
