Baby im going out of town to handle some business

For a few days

But don't you worry

'Cause I'll call you

Like it's not

Long distance

'Cause I hate being away

I hate being away from you

I gotta go

Even though I don't want to

I'd rather stay

Than to be away from you



Since absence

Has been known to

Make the heart grow fonder

Then you know

That I miss you

And this song

Is just a reminder

I hate being away



I hate being away from you

I've gotta go even though I don't want to

I'd rather stay

Than be away from you

I can't wait to see your smiling face

And cuddle up in front of the fireplace

I'd rather stay

Than be away from you



Sometimes I find myself

Reaching for you

When talking on the phone

Is all we can do

But it won't be long until I'm back to you

I'm counting the seconds

The minutes

The hours

The days

Until we're face to face

'Cause I hate being away



I hate being away from you

I gotta go even though I don't want to

I'd rather stay than to be away from you

I can't wait to see your smiling face

And cuddle up in front of the fireplace

I'd rather stay than be away from you



I hate being away from you

I gotta go even though I don't want to

I'd rather stay than to be away from you

I can't wait to see your smiling face

And cuddle up in front of the fireplace

I'd rather stay than be away from you
