M.A.T. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well you don't know
What you do to me
Well you don't know
what you mean to me

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I can't go on
I can't go on

Well you don't know Girl
What you do to me
Well you don't know
What you do to me
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I can't go on
Since you been gone

Twice as much loving that
You ever gave to me
I gave you all I got to give and more
I may not have a lot to give
But what I got I give to you
One thing that I want to know for sure

Do you still love me?
Like you say you do
Do you still want me?
Like you say you do

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I can't go on
I can't go on

Twice as much loving that
You ever gave to me
I gave you all I got to give and more
I may not have a lot to give
But what I got I give to you
One thing that I want to know for sure

Do you still Love me
like you say you do?
Do you still need me
like you say you do?
Since you been Gone
Since you been Gone
Well I can't go on
Since you been Gone

Well You don't Know me
like you say you do
Well you don't Love me
Like you say you do
Since you been Gone
Since you been Gone
I can't go on
I can't go on

Well you don't Love me
Like you say you do
Since you been Gone
Since you been Gone
I can't go on
Since you been Gone

Don't tell you me you love me
Then go and Break my Heart
Don't say you love me
And tear me apart
I'm a man that is true
And my heart gets broken just the same as you

Well you don't know
What you do to me
Well you don't know
what you mean to me
Since you been Gone
Since you been Gone
I can't go on
Since you been Gone

Since you been Gone
Since you been Gone




I can't go on
Since you been Gone
