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
