I get the same old dream, same time every night Fall to the ground and I wake up So I get out of bed, put on my shoes, and in my head Thoughts fly back to the break-up These four walls are closing in Look at the fix you've put me in!! CHORUS: Since you've been gone, since you've been gone I'm outta my head, can't take it Could I be wrong, but since you've been gone You cast the spell, so break it Oooohhh - Whhooooaaa - Ooooohhh Since you've been gone So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light I read the words that you sent to me I can take the afternoon, the night-time comes around too soon You can't know what you mean to me Your poison letter, your telegram Just goes to show you don't give a damn CHORUS If you will come back Baby you know You'll never do wrong CHORUS x 2
