Brenda Holloway When I'm Gone lyrics

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, now

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's 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 and Mr. Hyde


Oh, yeah, you make a pass at
Every girl that you see
Then when they hurt you
You come right back 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?

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?
