When Love Is Gone

Girl you're old enough to know the way your life should be 
  Why then do you always ask your mother and me? 
  Chances are our future's are over said and done 
  The battle now is over and the war I have won 
  Think that over 
  While you're lying in your sleep at night 
  You and me we could have made it baby, baby 
  But you walked out of my life 

  Now my love is gone 
  Now my love is gone 
  Now my love is gone 
  Now my love is gone 

  Girl, I see no further reason for me to carry on 
  This will be the last time I write to you in song 
  My heart's an open secret your love has closed the door 
  It's over 
  Like the time that's passed away til' now 
  How much longer will I suffer baby, baby 
  Must I bear this pain and smile 

  Now my love is gone, gone, gone, gone 
  It's gonna be hard to carry on 
  Look at me baby 
  Haven't you ever seen a grown man cry 
  Don't it look funny, sugar 
  Watchin' tears fall from his eyes 
  Yes indeed I cry, cry 

  [Chorus] 
  (When your love is gone) 
  (When your love is gone) 
  [It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone) 
  (it's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone) 
  I When your love is gone) 
  (When your love is gone) 
  (It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone)' 
  (It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone) 
  (When your love is gone) 
  (When your love is gone) 
  (It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone) 
  (It's gone, it's gone, it's gone, it's gone) 
  Girl, to see my life without you is more than I can stand 
  Picture me an empty hollow shell of a man 
  Caged within, a feelin' that one day you'll return 
  Knowing that can never be, my flesh starts to burn 
  Don't you care baby? 
  Don't you even feel the pain and hurt 
  I'm goin' through 
  If you really, really, really cared baby, baby 
  You'd know what I'm goin' through 

  Now my love is gone 
  Gonna be so hard to carry on 
  Look at me baby 
  Haven't you ever seen a grown man cry? 
  Don't it look funny sugar ? 

  Watchin' tears fall from his eyes 
  Won't you tell me why 
  Oh why 
  Oh why 
  Oh why has it gone
