You may like your apple pie with ice-cream
You may prefer to have your cake and eat it too
But you may find the moment that you're finished
You're still hungry
And there's only one thing will do
'Cause absent pie's the only kind to eat
You need it most when you are falling asleep
It tastes so bad and yet it tastes so sweet
For your heart and mind
There is no other treat

You'll wake up in the middle of the morning
Late for work
With tears in the corners of your eyes
Longing for that certain special something
You still need
And you didn't even realize

That absent pie's the only kind to eat
You need it most when you are fast asleep
It's the only kind that you can live upon
And it fills you up long after it's gone

Absent pie is quite the sustenance
It will steal your mind and put you in a trance
And just when you think
That you have had enough
Your heart breaks
And you find yourself craving the stuff

Cause absent pie's the only kind to eat
You need it most when you are deep asleep
It's the only kind that you can swallow whole
But your belly aches
When the absence takes its toll
