All day, [boo hoo - falsetto voice in background] I been hummin' a song.
Gee baby, I been so alone and blue,
Since you've been gone
Seems that every little thing that I do,
My heart still cries for you.
All the dreams that I dream, never come true - life is always blue.
You know my telephone, baby.
Why you don't call me anymore?
Not even the mailman, ever knocks on my door anymore.
Baby since you been gone, every little thing has went wrong.
Now why shouldn't I miss you when I love you, when you all that I own?
Baby since you've been gone, my nights all pass so slow.
There was nothin' I could do to be happy.
My life don't seem worthwhile anymore, I have no place to go.
Since you been gone, I've walked and cried all night long.
But some sweet day, your heart will break when I'm gone.
[Rest of lyrics half spoken:]
Baby, you know since you've been gone,
So many nights have I walked and cried all night long.
You know dear, it seems to me that you've taken my love, just to use it as a song.
But I'll find a way, someday.
There must be somebody who's willing to be lovin' and true.
And your ways of livin' and my kind of lovin', will never do.
Baby, how could you be so mean to me, after I've been so kind and true?
How could you make my poor heart cry and suffer,
When I even give up my dear little mother an' dad, only to be with you?
Now your ways of livin', I know you don't mean to be true.
And your ways of livin' and my kind of lovin',
Don't belong to you.
