Since you're gone The nights are gettin' strange Since you're gone Well, nothing's makin' any sense Since you're gone I stumbled in the shade Since you're gone Everything's in perfect tense, well I can't help it When you fall apart And I can't help it Guess you better start That is forgettin' about you (since you're gone) Since you're gone Nights are gettin' strange (since you're gone) Since you're gone Thrownin' it all away (since you're gone) Since you're gone The nights are gettin' strange (since you're gone) Since you're gone Thrownin' it all away I can't help it Everything's a mess I can't help it You're so treacherous When it comes, to tenderness (Since you're gone) I can't help it Everything's a mess I can't help it You're so treacherous Oh, where's that tenderness? (Since you're gone) Since you're gone I missed the peak sensation (Since you're gone) Since you're gone I took the big vacation (Since you're gone) Well, never feel sedate (Since you're gone) Well, the moonlight ain't so great (Since you're gone) Since you're gone (Since you're gone) Well, I've thrown it all away (since you're gone) When the night (Since you're gone) Strange I've thrown it all away (since you're gone) Well, since you're gone (since you're gone) Since you're gone Since you're gone (since you're gone) I've thrown it all away (since you're gone)
