Girl, you're old enough to know the way your life should be
Why then do you always ask your mother and me?
Chances of our future are over, said and done
The battle now is over and the war I have won
Think that over
While you're lying in your sleep at night
You and me we could have made it, baby, baby
But you walked out of my life

Now my love is gone
Now my love is gone, gone, gone, gone
Now my love is gone
Now my love is gone, yeah

Girl, I see no further reason for me to carry on
This will be the last time I write to you in song
My heart's an open secret, your love has closed the door
My tears have fell like pouring rain, and furthermore
It's over
Like the time that's passed away 'til now
How much longer will I suffer, baby, baby?
Must I bear this pain and smile?

Now my love is gone, gone, gone, gone
(When your love is gone)
It's gonna be hard to carry on
(When your love is gone)
Look at me, baby
Haven't you ever seen a grown man cry?
Don't it look funny, sugar
Watchin' tears fall from his eyes?
Yes indeed I cry, cry

When your love is gone
When your love is gone
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
When your love is gone
When your love is gone
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
When your love is gone
When your love is gone
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone
It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone

Girl, to see my life without you is more than I can stand
Picture me an empty hollow shell of a man
Caged within a feeling, that one day you'll return
Knowing that can never be, my flesh starts to burn
Don't you care, baby?
Don't you even feel the pain and hurt I'm goin' through?
If you really, really, really cared, baby, baby
You'd know what I'm goin' through

Now my love is gone, gone, gone, gone
When your love is gone
Gonna be so hard to carry on
When your love is gone
Look at me, baby
Haven't you ever seen a grown man cry?
Don't it look funny, sugar
Watchin' tears fall from his eyes?
Won't you tell me why
When your love is gone, it could make you feel bad
Oh why
When your love is gone, it could make you feel bad
Oh why
When your love is gone, it could make you feel bad
Oh, why has it gone?
