"When I'm On My Own You Are On My Mind" lyrics

"When I'm On My Own You Are On My Mind"

When I'm on my own you are on my mind
You don't have to be very far from me
And I'm inclined to wonder about you
How you are and what are you up to

When we say goodbye we say it with a sigh
Though it's not for long and there's nothing wrong
It's hard to keep from crying a tear or two
When it comes to saying goodbye to you

You and me, me and you
We need to be together
Two as we are, caviar
No it's not just for the song
I really mean I can't get along on my own
So there you are

So we cannot be together constantly
Still it's not as bad as if I'd never had
A friend, a lover, somebody like you
And it's you that I'm coming back to
