Girl you're old enough to know the way your life should be Why then do you always ask your mother and me? Chances are our future's 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 Now my love is gone Now my love is gone 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 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 It's gonna be hard to carry on 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 [Chorus] (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) I 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 feelin' 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 Gonna be so hard to carry on 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 Oh why Oh why Oh why has it gone

Well, I thought nothing was wrong, but nothing was right I turned to you but you were nowhere in sight I left it too late and maybe I hurt your pride I should have thought of you Now you've changed your mind And just like a well, your love had run dry Loneliness was falling from the sky I'm like a man with no home I just don't belong I can't help it when your love is gone Well, I missed all the signs, never read between lines And all I can say to you is that my love was blind It's breaking my heart, knowing right from the start You tried to reach for me, now we had to part And just like a well, your love had run dry Loneliness was falling from the sky I'm like a man with no home I just don't belong I can't help it when your love is gone And it's all I can do to carry on I can't help it when your love is gone Girl, I tell you no lies, you opened my eyes Made me feel like a man again You walked out that door and you left me alone I broke down and cried 'Cause I don't think I can make it alone Oh, now listen, and I would sail the deepest ocean Just to be by your side again And all I want, you to love me Just say you love me again, again, again, again I'm like a man with no home I just don't belong I can't help it when your love is gone And it's all I can do just to carry on I can't help it when your love is gone I'm like a man with no home I just don't belong (when your love is gone) I can't help it when your love is gone (when it's all) And it's all I can do just to carry on I can't help it when your love is gone (I can't help myself from feeling bad) I'm like a man with no home I just don't belong (when your love is gone) I can't help it when your love is gone And it's all I can do to carry on I can't help it when your love is gone I can't help myself when your love is gone When your love is gone
