Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the evening - don't talk about love
Talk about suffer - talk about pain
Ooh my baby - she said all there is to say
She says it's over
Over and over
It hurts so much I can't stop
This ringing in my head
She's Gone
She's not my baby now
Long gone
She's not my baby now
She's Gone
She turned her back and walked away
I gotta learn how ta face - She's Gone
She's not my baby now
Long Gone
She's not my baby now
She's Gone
With every beat I feel the pain
Ooh, yesterday
I'm cryin' in the rain
Oh, emotions won't wash away
I feel so lost - no one to blame
Ooh now baby - I'm never gonna be the same
She says it's over
Over and over
It hurts so much I can't stop
This ringing in my head
She's Gone
She's not my baby now
Long gone
She's not my baby now
She's Gone
She turned her back and walked away
I gotta learn how ta face -
She's Gone
She's not my baby now
Long Gone
She's not my baby now
She's Gone
With every beat I feel the pain
Ooh now baby - can't take the pain
Tears are fallin' - never be the same
I reach out - just to hold you near
How can you say, girl - you don't love me anymore
Now all that's left - is me screaming on the floor

She's Gone
She's not my baby now
Long gone
She's not my baby now
She's Gone
She turned her back and walked away
I gotta learn how ta face - She's Gone
She's not my baby now
Long Gone
She's not my baby now
She's Gone
With every beat I feel the pain
Ooh, yesterday

In the morning - don't talk about love
Don't bring up the topic of love in the morning
In the evening - don't talk about love
Don't bring up the topic of love in the evening
Talk about suffer - talk about pain
Instead, discuss experiences of suffering and pain
Ooh my baby - she said all there is to say
My partner has said everything there is to say
She says it's over
My partner has ended our relationship
Over and over
My partner has repeated this fact many times
It hurts so much I can't stop
The pain is so intense that I can't control it
This ringing in my head
The emotional pain feels like a physical sensation in my head
She's Gone
My partner has left me
She's not my baby now
I have lost my partner
Long gone
My partner has been gone for a while now
She turned her back and walked away
My partner left me and didn't look back
I gotta learn how ta face
I need to learn to cope with the reality of what has happened
With every beat I feel the pain
I am reminded of the pain with every heartbeat
Ooh, yesterday
The past seems so far away now
I'm cryin' in the rain
I am crying and the rain is masking my tears
Oh, emotions won't wash away
My emotions are too strong to be washed away
I feel so lost - no one to blame
I feel lost and there is no one to blame for what has happened
Ooh now baby - I'm never gonna be the same
I know that I will never be the same again
Tears are fallin' - never be the same
I am crying and I know I will never be the same again
I reach out - just to hold you near
I want to hold my partner close, even though they are gone
How can you say, girl - you don't love me anymore
I can't believe that my partner has fallen out of love with me
Now all that's left - is me screaming on the floor
All I can do now is scream and cry on the floor
