Lyrics:

Writer (s): Creamer/Layton


After you've gone - and left me crying
After you've gone - there's no denying
You'll feel blue - you're gonna be sad
You've missed the dearest pal that (slickest partner) you ever had

There'll come a time - don't you forget it
(Yeah) There'll come a time - when you're gonna regret it
Some day when you get lonely
Your heart will break like mine - (and) you'll want me only

After you've gone (split) - after you've gone away (flown the coop)

After we paid - our dues together
You should have stayed - through all that nasty weather
Someday while you're feeling badly
You'll need the only one that loves you so madly

But I'll be gone - yes I'll be gone - to stay
Yeah after I've gone - after I've gone away
