Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When everything seems okay, baby
You'll wake up and find out you're alone
Cause I'll be gone
Gone, gone, gone really gone
Gone, ga-gone, cause you done me wrong
Everyone that you meet baby
Will ask you why you're walkin' all alone
Why you're on your own
Just say I'm gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, ga-gone, cause you done me wrong
If you change your way baby
You might get me to stay baby
Ya better hurry up if ya don't wanna be alone
Or I'll be gone
Gone, gone, gone
Really gone
Gone, ga-gone
Cause you done me wrong

Some sunny day-hay baby
On a day where everything seems perfect
When everything seems okay, baby
On a day when there seem to be no problems
You'll wake up and find out you're alone
You will realize that I have left you
Cause I'll be gone
I will have left you
Gone, gone, gone really gone
I will be completely out of your life
Gone, ga-gone, cause you done me wrong
I will have left you because of something you did
Everyone that you meet baby
Anyone you encounter
As you walk down the street baby
As you go about your day
Will ask you why you're walkin' all alone
Will wonder why you are by yourself
Why you're on your own
Why you don't have anyone with you
Just say I'm gone
Just tell them that I've left you
Gone, gone, gone
I am no longer with you
Gone, ga-gone, cause you done me wrong
You are the reason for my departure
If you change your way baby
If you start behaving differently
You might get me to stay baby
You might convince me to stay with you
Ya better hurry up if ya don't wanna be alone
You'll need to act fast if you want to avoid being alone
Or I'll be gone
I will leave you
Gone, gone, gone
I will have disappeared from your life
Really gone
Completely gone
Gone, ga-gone
Gone because of what you did
Cause you done me wrong
Because you hurt me or betrayed me
