After youve gone - and left me crying
After youve gone - theres no denying
Youll feel blue - youre gonna be sad
Youve missed the dearest pal that (slickest partner) you ever had

Therell come a time - dont you forget it
(yeah) therell come a time - when youre gonna regret it
Some day when you get lonely
Your heart will break like mine - (and) youll want me only

After youve gone (split) - after youve gone away (flown the coop)

After we paid - our dues together
You should have stayed - through all that nasty weather
Someday while youre feeling badly
Youll need the only one that loves you so madly

But Ill be gone - yes Ill be gone - to stay
Yeah after Ive gone - after Ive gone away
