Lyrics
You like your coffee in a fancy French cafe
Evenings in New York
Nights on old Broadway
Sailing the ocean on Champaign and caviar
Diamonds big as Venus
Acting like a movie star
I like Carols a Christmas and evenings in the Fall
Friends at my table
Got no room for protocol
Someone who loves me
Keep your dollars and your dimes
Someone to believe in
On those uphill climbs
So you can keep all those fancy things
I'm not your puppet
Hanging on a string
Oh, I realize, it's a different point of view
But, why can't I stop missing you?
Why can't I stop missing you?
