[Verse]
My hand is trembling as the key unlocks the door
My legs are shaky as I walk across the floor
And my voice trembles as I call out "I'm home"
Do my eyes deceive me or is my baby gone

[Chorus]
Baby's gone, she couldn't stand to tell me face to face
And things just ain't the way they used to be around this place
Her perfume lingers where she once lay her head
And I can almost taste the teardrops baby shed
As she searched her mind and tried to find
Just where it all went wrong
But it's ended and it's over
Baby's gone

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Baby's gone, she couldn't stand to tell me face to face
And things just ain't the way they used to be around this place
Her perfume lingers where she once lay her head
And I can almost taste the teardrops baby shed
As she searched her mind and tried to find
Just where it all went wrong
Lord it's ended and it's over
Baby's gone
