Hey! I thought,
girl, maybe we could find a way to work it out
But you say there's no way,
and you're leaving me today
I guess there's nothing more that I can do,
it's in your mind
You wanna let me go,
and it's gonna hurt me so
When you're gone, when you're gone,
I won't have a thing at all
I won't have no happiness,
I won't have your love
And when you're gone,
life won't be the same for me
I won't see your smiling face
I am just an empty space
When you go
And if, sweetheart,
by chance you want to know
I still love you
But you don't understand
I want to be your man
And nothing matters,
girl, but you and me
It's in the stars
Our love we need to share
I'm telling you I care
From the heart
When you're gone,
I won't have a thing at all
I won't have no happiness,
I won't have your love
And when you're gone,
life won't be the same for me
I will see your smiling face
I am just an empty space when you go
And I never, never, ever,
never thought I'd see the day
When you turn your back on me
When you walk away
And I'm wishing and I'm hoping
that this whole thing is a dream
And I'll wake up tomorrow,
you'll be there with me
When you're gone,
when you're gone I won't have a thing at all
I won't have no happiness,
I won't have no love
Oh and when you're gone,
life won't be the same for me
I won't see your smiling face
I am just an empty space
When you're gone
When you're gone
I won't have a thing
At all
I won't have a thing
I won't have another
And when you're gone,
for life won't be the same for me
I won't see your smiling face,
I am just an empty space
When you're gone,
I won't have no happiness
Lord
