When you're gone I've been wandering around the house all night Wondering what the hell to do Yeah I'm trying to concentrate but all I can think of is you Well the phone don't ring 'cause my friends they ain't home I'm tired of being all alone Got the TV on 'cause the radio's playing songs that remind me of you Baby when you're gone, I realize I'm in love Days go on and on, and the nights just seem so long Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should Things just feel so wrong, baby when you're gone I've been driving up and down these streets Trying to find somewhere to go Ya I'm lookin' for a familiar face but there's no one I know This is torture, this is pain, it feels like I'm gonna go insane I hope you're coming back real soon 'cause I don't know what to do Baby when you're gone (when you're gone), I realize I'm in love Days go on and on (on and on), and the nights just seem so long Even food don't taste that good, drink ain't doing what it should Things just feel so wrong, baby when you're gone Baby when you're gone (when you're gone), I realize I'm in love (so in love) Days go on and on, and the nights just seem so long Even food don't taste that good (good), drink ain't doing what it should Things just feel so wrong (so wrong), baby when you're gone (gone, gone) Baby when you're gone Baby when you're gone
