From the recording ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GO WANDER
This is Jerry Lee Lewis' sister...I think she's pretty famous in the UK...every writer needs at least one song with the "chunka chunka chunk, kachunk chunk" rhythm...thanks Mr. Diddley
Lyrics
ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GO WANDER
ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GO WANDER
I AIN’T HANGIN’ ROUND NO LONGER
I SPENT ONE TOO MANY NIGHTS WAITIN’ UP FOR YOU
HERE’S ONE MORE THING FOR YOU TO PONDER
WHILE YOU SEARCH THE WILD BLUE YONDER
ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART GO WANDER
NOW I’M GONE FOR GOOD
I COOK YOU DINNER THEN I TOSS IT
YOU’RE WORSE THAN A LEAKY FAUCET
RUNNIN’ ALL NIGHT LONG NOW BOY I’M DRAINED
I TRIED TO KEEP OUR LOVE LIGHT BURNIN’
BUT YOU LEAVE WITHOUT RETURNIN’
NOW I’M LEARNIN’ TWO CAN PLAY YOUR GAME
YOU WANT YOUR FREEDOM SAY YOU NEED IT
YOU CAN’T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO
NOW DO YOU THINK I’LL STAND IN LINE?
I DON’T WAIT FOR NO MAN EVER
YOU CAN RUN AROUND FOREVER
BET YOU’LL NEVER FIND CAKE SWEET AS MINE
