Oh, well I just don't know
How you could go without permission
Cause where (well') if you're not there
Well I just don't care for this omission
Every moment brings me down when you're not around
But all I'm asking for is come back for just one day
So where did you go
And do you now know how to be happy
Cause here well it's pretty clear
When you're not near me I am unhappy
Every moment brings me down when you're not around
But all I'm asking for is come back for just one day
And make it worth the while just to see your smile
That's all I'm asking for
Oh I've come to know
You had to go without permission
Cause it was how, how I wore you down
And how I dragged you round my sole ambition
Every moment brings me down when you're not around
But all I'm asking for is come back for just one day
And make it worth the while just to see your smile
That's all I'm asking for, my dear
How you could go without permission
