Funkadelic - You Can't Miss What You Can't Measure Songtexte

Sitting here with a broken heart
Wishin' you'd come home, oh
Sitting here with vacant arms
I just can't go on

Oh, grief has got a hold on me

In my loneliness
And until I see your face once again
My lonely heart won't rest and I'm

Sitting here with a broken heart
Wishin' you'd come ho
