Sitting here thinking about you
And all the things we used to do
I never thought that I would lose you
'Cause you were always my boo
Sitting here wondering where we
Wonderin' where we went wrong
'Cause now I'm here all alone
Wishing you'd come back home, so tell me

{Chorus}:
Why, why, why'd you have to go away
Got me missing you every day
Baby tell me why
Why, why'd you have to go away
Got me missing you every day
Every day I'm missing you

I don't understand why you left
Baby what didn't I do
Wasn't I always there for you
And wasn't I good to you
How was I to know something was wrong
Baby, I can't read minds
All you had to do was tell me
But you kept it all inside

{Chorus}

Girl I'll never find another
Another one to take your place
'Cause you were so, so good to me baby
And you kept the smile upon my face
And I'm on my bended knee and I'm crying
Won't you come back to me
To me, 'cause you mean the world to me

Why, why, why'd you have to go away
Got me missing you every day
Oh tell me why
Why, why'd you have to go away
Got me missing you every day
I'm missing you
Why, why go away every day
Why, why go away every day
I'm missing you
Why, why go away every day
