[Intro]
Tell her that I love her (Tell her that I love her)
Tell her that I need her (Tell her that I need her)

[Chorus]
And I didn't realize that the show was over
No, I didn’t realize that the show was over
I didn't realize that I was wrong
My baby's gone (Gone, gone, gone, gone) (Baby, won’t you come back, come back, come back?)
Oh, how she's gone (Gone, gone, gone, gone)

[Verse 1]
Ooh, baby, I've hurt you too much
I broke our vows of love
I was playing a role that I couldn't stop
But you walked out on me, girl, in the middle of the plot
Ooh, and as I stand here hurtin'
As they slowly brought down the curtain

[Chorus]
Girl, I didn't realize that the show was over
No, I didn't realize that the show was over
I didn't realize that I was wrong
My baby’s gone (Gone, gone, gone, gone)
(Oh, baby, won’t you come back, come back, come back?)
Baby, baby, won't you come back for me?
[Verse 2]
Ooh, baby, I didn’t really mean it
When I said I didn't care what you do
Just command performance number three
Instead of winning an Oscar, it was just heartbreak for me
Ooh
Oh, I need you, baby
And I

[Chorus]
I didn't realize that the show was over
No, I didn't realize that the show was over
No, I didn’t realize that I was wrong
My baby's gone

And I didn't realize that the show was over
No, I didn't realize that the show was over
I didn't realize that I was wrong
