[Verse 1]
We had a fight and I walked out
Don't recall just what we fought about
Before her tears could hit the ground
A stranger came to town

[Verse 2]
Now he's got her thinking that it's all my fault
She's convinced I never cared at all
She won't even take my calls
Now my heart's against the wall

[Chorus 1]
There's only one reason I keep hanging on
Yeah, she's gonna miss me when he's gone

[Verse 3]
Well, people say he looks a lot like me
They even say this whole thing might be
Just an act she can't see through
He won't love her like I do

[Chorus 2]
I never knew the nights were so long
Yeah, she's gonna miss me when he's gone
[Bridge]
Someday he's bound to catch the wind
(She can't see it now)
And he'll blow away just like he blew in
(Some way, somehow)

[Chorus 3]
And I've got to find her and tell her she's wrong
Yeah, she's gonna miss me
I know that she'll miss me
I wonder if she'll miss when he's gone

[Outro]
She's gonna miss me, she's gonna miss me
When he's gone
She's gonna miss me, she's gonna miss me
I know that she'll miss me when he's gone
She's gonna miss me, she's gonna miss me
She's gonna miss me, she's gonna miss me
When he's gone
