don't know how don't know how, not to Love you I don't know how But I don't know how You said that time would ease the pain But I still hear your voice whisper my name Since you've been gone my world stands still You said I'd forget, but I never will

Up all night long And there's something very wrong And I know it must be late Been gone since yesterday I'm not like you guys I'm not like you Hey mom, there's something in the backroom Hope it's not the creatures from above You used to read me stories

But I blew it without even tryin' Since you've been gone it's hard to carry on I had nothing to do on this hot afternoon But to settle down and write you a line I've been meaning to phone you but from Minnesota Hell it's been a very long time You wear it

Since you been gone I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on But since you been gone Thanks to you Now I get what I want Here's the thing We started out friends

I guess I'll drown in my own tears If you don't think You'll be home soon It brings a tear Into my eyes When I begin I've cried so much Since you've been gone

Girl of my dreams I love you, honest I do, You are so sweet, If I could just hold your charms again in my arms, Then life would be complete; Since you've been gone dear, life don't seem the same, Please come back again. And after all's said and done,

Go down, go down, go down, go down Ruby, Ruby, where you been so long Done took to drinkin' whiskey Baby since you been gone Ain't no one I know do it as good as you Lickin' on that lickin' stick the way you do You got the lips to make a strong man weak

I do it solo T-t-touch but I got nobody I wanna f-woop, woop woop, but I'm broken hearted Cr-cr-cry but I like to party Here on my own Cr-cr-cry since the day we parted So I do it solo Since you been gone I've been dancing on my own

Oh, me, oh, my Dreams in my arms Is all I have to hold Since you've been gone Ever since you been gone I had a dream Thinking that you were gone Leaving me on my own And you, you was there

To take away the heartache, to take away the loneliness I've been feelin' since you've been gone, since you've been gone To take away the loneliness I've been feelin' since you've been gone Don't you know, so many things they come and go Like your words
