When I'm Gone

When I'm Gone - Brenda Holloway

What are you gonna do when I'm gone

Whose shoulder are you gonna cry on

What are you gonna do on the day

When I turn my head and just walk away

What are you gonna say to your friends

When the talk around town begins

Will you tell them how you treated me bad

Will you tell them how you made me so sad

'Cause you make some people

Think that you love me a lot

But they just don't know you

And what they see isn't what we've got

We're happy in the public eye

They think you're such a wonderful guy

But they don't know how much you've lied

And they don't know how much I've cried

You're a real Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde

Oh, yeah

You make a pass at

Every girl that you see

Then when they hurt you

You come running and crying to me

I comfort you whenever you're low

And you don't have a place you can go

You put your head on my shoulder to cry

And then you turn around and tell me a lie

And I just can't take it

I've gotta make it now

What are you gonna do when I'm gone

And what are you gonna do when I'm gone

What are you gonna do when I'm gone

What are you gonna do when I'm gone
