My phone rings off the hook every time I leave
When I’m gone you can’t get enough of me
I make our livn' on this road that has no end
You say that you can’t wait to see your man again
But you’re not there, no you’re not there
You call to say you miss me and to get home soon
But baby all that changes when I walk into the room
So turn off the tube, turn down the lights, so you can’t see me when I’m home
'Cause you only love me when I’m gone
I set my guitars down, climb in the bed
You turn your back on me without one word said
I lay there just to watch the ceiling fan go 'round
I can’t sleep so I get up and go back down
Downstairs, oh and you don’t care
You call to say you miss me and to get home soon
But baby all that changes when I walk into the room
So turn off the tube, turn down the lights, so you can’t see me when I’m home
'Cause you only love me when I’m gone
So turn off the tube, turn down the lights, so you can’t see me when I’m home
'Cause you only love me, yeah you only love me
Yeah yo only love me when I’m gone
