When you're far away
When you're far away
When you're far away
When you're far away,
When you're far away,
When you're far away.
I had a chance to think since you ran away
I've written down everything on my mind
Concerning you and
I, and our love
My feelings all seem to lead back
To that same old thought
That is I love you
And I really can't do without you
But when you're gone
Sometimes I feel like loving another
When you're far away
I can't get close to you
When you're far away
I don't feel wanted and secure
When you're far away
There's no one else around
I love you boy, I need you here
Come close to me
I care about you, stay
Stay here with me
My love for you is strong,
but you can't make up for the distance
That you put between
us when you leave
Each time you go,
I want to beg you to stay or take me with you
Life is much too short
To be waiting around
For you to be with me
Don't you understand that I want you
And I know that you want me
But when you're gone
It doesn't seem to help my feelings
When you're far away
I can't get close to you
When you're far away
I don't feel wanted and secure
When you're far away
There's no one else around to love me boy,
I need you here
Ooh baby, when you're far away
Oo h baby, when you're far away
I don't feel wanted and secure
when you're far away
There's no one else around to love me boy,
I need you here
Come close to me
Won't you, baby,
won't you stay?
Move here with me
Won't you, baby, won't you stay?
Won't you, baby,
won't you stay?
Won't you, baby, won't you stay?
You and me doesn't seem
to help my feelings
When you're far away
When you're far away
When you're far away
When you're far away
When you're far away,
When you're far away.
All my love for you is strong,
but it can't make up for the distance that you put between
us.
When you leave, each time you go
I wanna beg you to stay
or take me with you
Life is much too short
To be waiting around for
you to be with me
Don't you un derstand
that I want you?
But when you're gone
It doesn't seem to help my feelings
When you're far away
When you're far away
When you're far away
When you're far away
When you're far away
No one else around
I want you, boy, I need you here
Ooh, come close to me
When you're far away
I'm no good without you
When you're far away
I love everything about you
When you're far away
No one else around
Ooh, I love you, boy, I need you here
Ooh, when you're gone,
it's so hard to be strong
I'm no good without you, ooh baby
I love you boy, I need you here
Ooh, come close to me
Cause that's the way
that it's got to be
Don't leave me, don't go anywhere,
there's no one else around
I love you boy and I need you here,
ooh baby
When you're far away,
when you're far away
I love you boy and I need you here
Ooh, come close to me
