I never see you anymore, you're absent without leave      In life I learned a lot of things and what it brings to ya   And how it's good to be alone sometimes   I should've known you'd get an itch and you would switch on me   And runaway when day turned into night      'Cuz you're a good time sister, always out for something better   Just when I need a friend, you're absent without leave   Good time brother, called you friend when I knew better   Ain't got no time to spend, you're absent without leave      So many people that I found say they're down with ya   Then like a ship they sail on with a breeze   See in the sun, they get a touch and it's too much for 'em   They fall around you like the winter leaves      A little rain and they would run for cover   (I can still remember)   When no one else could see the need to shelter   (How could I forget?)   And knowing better times were round the corner   (Oh, I can still remember)   So now when summer skies turn into gray, here's what I say      Good time sister, always out for something better   Just when I need a friend, you're absent without leave   Good time brother, called you friend when I knew better   Ain't got no time to spend, you're absent without leave      Good time sister, always out for something better   Just when I need a friend, you're absent without leave   Good time brother, called you friend when I knew better   Ain't got no time to spend, you're absent without leave      I,I never hear, I never see you   (I never hear)   I never hear, I never see you no more   I never hear, I never see you   (I never hear)   I never hear, I never see you no more      I, I never hear, I never see you   (I never hear)   I never hear, I never see you no more   I never hear, I never see you   (I never hear)   I never hear, I never see you no more      Good time sister, always out for something better   Just when I need a friend, you're absent without leave   Good time brother, called you friend when I knew better   Ain't got no time to spend, you're absent without leave      Good time sister, always out for something better   (Absent summer brother)   Just when I need a friend, you're absent without leave   Good time brother, called you friend when I knew better   Ain't got no time to spend, you're absent without leave      Good time sister, always out for something better   Just when I need a friend, you're   (Yeah, ain't got no time to spend, you're)   Absent without leave   Good time brother, called you friend when I knew better   Ain't got no time to spend, you're absent without leave
