[Verse 1]
In your garden, in your bed
Tell me why, oh, why you left
Lit a fire in my head
Tell me why, oh, why you left

[Chorus]
'Cause when I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you

[Chorus]
'Cause when I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you
'Bout my other lover, you never wrote to me
And oh, my other, you're never wrong
Oh, my other, you never called for me
And oh, my other, never let me

[Post-Chorus]
Go-oh, ooh-oh, ooh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, ooh-oh
Oh, ooh-oh, ooh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, ooh-oh
[Verse 2]
Cut me out and pull the thread
Tell me something sweet instead
These old flowers faded red
Why come back and leave again?

[Chorus]
'Cause when I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you 'bout
My other lover, you never wrote to me and
Oh, my other, you're never wrong
Oh, my other, you never called for me, and
Oh, my other, never let me

[Post-Chorus]
Go-oh, ooh, oh-oh-oh, oh, ooh-oh
Oh, ooh-oh
Ooh, oh-oh-oh, oh, ooh-oh
Oh, ooh-oh

[Bridge]
I am sideways
Counting down to the mess you made
Well, it's somehow too late
[Chorus]
'Cause when I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell you why
When I'm gone, I'm gonna tell
You, never let me

[Post-Chorus]
Go-oh, ooh, oh-oh-oh, oh, ooh-oh
Oh, ooh-oh
Oh, ooh-oh, ooh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, ooh-oh

[Outro]
Oh
Oh
Oh
Oh
