Joe Jackson - When Youre Not Around текст песни

You come into my life

And then you go away

You make me feel like a fool

For wanting you to stay

But Im a busy guy

A lot of things to do

But theres a reason why

Some of them just seem to lose their flavor

I feel like death warmed up

I cant taste the coffee in my cup

I feel so low Im underground

Every time youre not around

And if I didnt feel so high

And if I didnt feel so proud

Then I wouldnt cry

I wouldnt feel so down

When youre not around

You come and fill me up

With ecstasy and pain

And then I run on empty

til I see you again

But Ive got things to do

And places I can go

I guess I cant blame you

If some of them just seem to feel like nowhere

No, I dont feel so great

I cant taste the sandwich on my plate

I try to sing but theres no sound

Every time youre not around

And if I didnt feel so high

And if I didnt feel so proud

Then I wouldnt cry

I wouldnt feel so down

When youre not around
