[Verse 1]
Girl, I really missed you since you said goodbye
I'm like a man who needs water and the well has dried

[Chorus]
Girl, I didn't realise how badly I needed you 'til you were gone
Ooh, now, I didn't realise how badly I needed you 'til you were gone

[Verse 2]
I was kind of curious, not really serious when I told you that I loved you
Though I gave you a play, I couldn't stay away from all the other good girls I knew

[Pre-Chorus]
Now my life has stopped since you've been gone
I'm [?], I can't go on

[Chorus]
Girl, I didn't realise how badly I needed you 'til you were gone
Ooh, girl, I didn't realise how badly I needеd you 'til you were gone

[Verse 3]
I was mеrely playin', not thinkin' of stayin', when I missed your tender love (Baby, baby)
Though I made a game of it, now I must say, woman, the hurt comes back to me (Baby, baby)

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you are gone, my life's a climb uphill
And like the train that I track, I backwards and still [?]
[Chorus]
Girl, I didn't realise how badly I needed you 'til you were gone
Ooh, girl, I didn't realise how badly I needed you 'til you were gone

[Bridge]
Honey, since you're gone, I've been falling (Falling)
I say since you've gone, I feel a pain in my heart
Since you've gone, sometimes I can't eat (Falling, falling)
Since you're gone, my life is incomplete (Calling, calling you)

Ooh, ooh, baby
Hey, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby
Oh (Baby)

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you're gone and it seems I just can't take it
Like a girl a mile away [?], I just can't make it

[Chorus]
'Cause girl, I didn't realise how badly I needed you 'til you were gone
Ooh, girl, I didn't realise how badly I needed you 'til you were gone

Now, now, now, now, girl, I didn't realise how badly I needed you 'til you were gone
Ooh, girl, I didn't realise how badly I needed you 'til you were gone
