When I'm Gone - Brenda Holloway

When I'm Gone Lyrics

What are you gonna do when I'm gone
Whose shoulder are you gonna cry on
What are you gonna do on the day
When I turn my head and just walk awayWhat are you gonna say to your friends
When the talk around town begins
Will you tell them how you treated me bad
Will you tell them how you made me so sad'Cause you make some people
Think that you love me a lot
But they just don't know you
And what they see isn't what we've gotWe're happy in the public eye
They think you're such a wonderful guy
But they don't know how much you've lied
And they don't know how much I've cried
You're a real Dr. Jekyll & Mr. HydeOh, yeahYou make a pass atEvery girl that you see
Then when they hurt you
You come running and crying to meI comfort you whenever you're low
And you don't have a place you can go
You put your head on my shoulder to cry

And then you turn around and tell me a lieAnd I just can't take it
I've gotta make it nowWhat are you gonna do when I'm gone
And what are you gonna do when I'm gone
What are you gonna do when I'm gone
What are you gonna do when I'm gone
