Gone
Neville Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Since you're gone with your guy
I feel as though I want cry
But a man ain't supposed to shed a tear
If only you were here (you've gone away baby)
If only you were here (you've gone away baby)

If only if you were here
I'd lie for you
Darling, I'd die for you
Please say you're coming home

(Since you've gone away)
Been working hard while you're at play
Never thinking that you are untrue
(Didn't worry over you)

So long, this is goodbye
I didn't want you to leave me
But I've got my pride
There's one thing I want you to know
Girl, I love you so (you've gone away, baby)
Girl, I love you so (you've gone away, baby)
You've gone away (you've gone away, baby)




So long ( you've gone away, baby)
Oh my darling, so long
