Clarence Paul & Joe Hunter & Andre WilliamsWhile I’m Away Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(While I'm away)
While I'm away (oh)
Darling, darling don't shed a tear
(do do do do do do do do do do do do)
While I'm away (ooh)
Mmm, I'm gonna write to you every day, my dear
[Verse 2]
(While I'm away)
'Cause I know you'll be concerned
But I promise, baby
I promise you I'll return
(do do do do do do do do do do do do)
But while I'm away
Oh, I'm gonna write to you each and every day now
Yes I will, mmm, yes I will
[Bridge]
Just keep my picture (doo-wop)
On the wall (doo-wop)
And, oh (doo-wop)
Please, please (doo-wop)
Don't give it to no one at all (doo-wop)
'Cause I'm gonna be true (doo-wop)
To you every day
Oh, while, while I'm away (ooh)
[Verse 3]
(While I'm away)
You wake up at six, by the horn
Sometimes baby, sometimes I wish that I'd never been born
But that's okay
(do do do do do do do do do do do do)
You be true, every day
Oh, while I'm away (ooh)
Baby, while I'm away
[Outro]
(While I'm away)
While I'm away
(Write to me every day)
Say hello to mom and dad
(While I'm away)
Tell 'em I'm okay
(Write to me every day)
And I know
(While I'm away)
I know they'll be glad
(Write to me every day)
And baby, baby please...
