Another tune from the days of 'Do What I Can', and a great cheese metal ballad in it's own right. This was also the 2nd song I ever played on stage with Jeremy and Jeff, along with 'Born to Be Wild' (of all things) on New Years Eve, 1990-91.

lyrics

Woke up this morning, thanked Jesus that you weren't there
And I started thinking 'bout the nasty shit that I did to you last night
I never mean to hurt you with the stuff I say and do
Maybe it's too late, but I'm not feelin' the same without you
I won't let you leave without a fight- no I won't let go
'Cause Absence makes a heart grow fonder-uh! Please come back to me
Absence makes a heart grow fonder-uh! I'll show ya how love can be
I can't stand to see the tears in your eyes
It tears me up inside when I see you cryin'
You don't have to leave I wish that you would stay
'Cause without your love I might just fade away
I can't just turn around and pretend it never happened- you can't do this to me
'Cause Absence makes a heart grow fonder-uh! Don't you turn and walk away
Absence makes a heart grow fonder-uh! And I need you, I need you to, I need you to stay
(wank-off session)
Some say love is just a game- you play for keeps- but if I lose this time
I fall apart without you by my side, so if you come back
I'll put away my foolish pride
Absence makes a heart grow fonder-uh! Don't turn and walk away
Absence makes a heart grow fonder-uh! I need you to, I need you to stay
Don't you turn and walk away- 'cause I need you, I need you to stay- Ah.
