[Verse 1: Terry Kath]
You don't know how bad it's been
Since you been gone
Let me tell you how bad it's been
Since you been gone

[Chorus: Terry Kath]
People speak but I don't hear
Things all around seem so unclear
I don't know

[Post-Chorus: Terry Kath, With bandmates]
What will become of the love you turned off?
What will become of the need you turned off?

[Verse 2: Terry Kath]
Loneliness is just a word
So I've been told
Loneliness becomes a world
That's very cold

[Chorus: Terry Kath]
People stare but they don't see
All of the hurt that's inside me
I don't know
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Terry Kath]
Loneliness is just a word
So I've been told
Loneliness becomes a world
That's very cold

[Chorus: Terry Kath, Bandmates]
People stare but they don't see
All of the hurt that's inside me
I don't know (I don't know...)
I don't know (I don't know...)
I don't know
