When I’m Gone Lyrics by Bonnie Pointer

Bonnie Pointer

[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
They just don't know you
What they see isn't what we've got
[Verse 2]
We're happy in the public's eyes
They think you're such a wonderful guy
But they don't know how much you lie
And they don't know how much I cry
You're a real Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
[Bridge]
Oh yeah
You make a pass at
Every girl that you see
Then when they hurt you
You come running back crying to me
[Verse 3]
I comfort you whenever you're low
And if you don't have no place you can go
You put your head on my shoulder to cry
And then you turn around and tell me a lie
And I just can't take it, I'm gonna make it now
[Outro]
What are you gonna do when I'm gone?
What are you gonna do when I'm gone?
What are you gonna do when I'm gone?
What are you gonna do when I'm gone?
What are you gonna do when I'm gone?
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna do when I'm gone?
What are you gonna do when I'm gone?
What are you gonna do?
