Smokey Robinson
When I’m Gone
[Verse 1]
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?

[Bridge]
You make some people
Think that you love me a lot (You love me)
They just don't know you
What they see isn't what we've got

[Verse 2]
We're happy in the public 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

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
You make a pass at
Every girl that you see (You love me)
Then when they hurt you
You come right back crying to me
[Verse 3]
I comfort you whenever you're low
And you don't have no place you can go
You put your head on my shoulder to cry
(And then you cry)
And then you turn around and tell me a lie
(Don't tell me lies)
I just can't take it
I've gotta make it

[Outro]
Now what are you gonna do when I'm gone?
(What you gonna do)
What are you gonna do when I'm gone?
(When I'm gone)
What are you gonna do?
(What you gonna do)
What are you gonna do
(When I'm gone)
When I'm gone
(What you gonna do when I'm gone?)
What are you gonna do?
(What you gonna do)
