Where you been of lately? 
Cause I'm missing your cheeks 
The ones upon your face babe 
And the ones above your knees

Pinch me, pinch me, pinch me 
So that I know I'm awake 
And what does teach your man to fish mean? 
It's to survive another day

Yeah all my days, all my days 
I'd do them over and over and over and over and 

I laid down my arms on the day you came along 
Yeah I laid down my arms on the day you came along 

Where you been of lately 
Cause I'm missing your cheeks
