How can I miss you when you won't go away?

Disgraced former vice president Dick Cheney is still growling and finger-pointing, and the mainstream media are still noting what he says. It reminds me of what Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks sang in VCU's gym on Valentine's Day 1973:

How can I miss you when you won't go away?
Keep telling you, day after day
But you won't listen, you always stay and stay
How can I miss you, when you won’t go away?
