She's Gone
Y & T Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the morning - don't talk about love
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


Guitar Solo: Dave Meniketti

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
