I Miss You

Randy Newman

5

Something in me can't be straight about romance.

I don't completely mean this song -

I'm not going to move up next door to my first wife, who lives in Idaho.

This one reminds me of that Neil Young song,

";Look Out for My Love,"; which says, ";it's in your neighborhood,"; like, beware.

But ";I Miss You"; is genuine.

I love my ex-wife.

My boys told me I better warn her that this song was coming.

She knows me, though - she knows I'd sell anyone out for a song.

We were married 18 years and I never wrote a song about her in all that time.

Actually, I've never written a song about anyone in my whole life.
