As far as all my friends can tell
I took her leavin' well - that's kinda right,
'Cause when I'm out with them,

I don't let her memory rule the night.
For the most part I'm okay,
But I still miss her in a round about way.


[Chorus:]
Around about the time that midnight rolls around.

That's around about the time my tears start falling down.
'Cause she's not around,
I come unwound and my heart breaks.

Yeah, I still miss her in a round about way.

I no longer sit alone for hours by the phone,

Wishin' she would call.
And just the other day
I took her smilin' face down off my wall.

I've come a long long way,
But I still miss her in a round about way.


[Chorus]

Yeah, I still miss her in a round about way.
