I think you'll need a new holiday 
Somewhere the weather is sunny all day 
 
I don't care just as long as you stay (x2) 
 
Kissing the sky for a cloudy day eyes 
Making the sun rise seems a surprise 
They can go as long as you stay (x2) 
 
Don't Go Away (x3) 
Fuckin 
 
Tuesday I hate your answer machine 
Message for you I can't say what I mean 
I don't care that everyone knows 
Seems you care now everyone knows 
 
Drop me a letter or write me a line 
Pick up the phone girl and tell me your fine 
Pity's a perfect excuse for myself 
I'll sit inside and watch TV all day 
 
Don't Go Away (x3) 
Fuckin 
 
I know my mother thought you were trash 
I know my dad he smokes to much hash 
Their always hiding under the stairs 
It's easy to find them when I'm not there 
 
Summertime lover your spring has begun 
Letters arrive but you stay in your room 
Pity's a perfect excuse for myself 
I'll sit inside and watch TV all day 
 
Don't Go away (x7) 
Fuckin 
Don't Go away (x8)
