He's Gone

Album: Dee Dee Bridgewater Durasi: 5:53

Everybody's high on consolation

Everybody's trying to tell me what is right for me

My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon

But it's plain to see that they can't comfort me

Sorry, Charlie, for the imposition

I think I've got it, I've got the strength to carry on, yeah

I need a drink and a quick decision

Now it's up to me, ooh, what will be

And he's gone, oh I, oh I

I better learn how to face it, he's gone

Oh I, oh I

I'd pay the devil to replace him, he's gone

Oh my, what went wrong?

Up in the morning, look in the mirror

I'm worn as his toothbrush hanging in the stand

Oh, my face ain't looking any younger

Now it's plain to see love's taken a toll on me

And he's gone, oh I, oh I

I better learn how to face it, he's gone

Oh I, oh I

I'd pay the devil to replace him, he's gone

Oh I, what went wrong?

Think I'll spend eternity in the city, yeah

Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away

And pretty bodies help dissolve the memories

But they can never be what he was to me

And he's gone, oh I, oh I

I better learn how to face it, he's gone

Oh I, oh I

I'd pay the devil to replace him, he's gone

Oh I, what went wrong?

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Gone, gone, gone away

Baby's gone away

Yeah, gotta learn how to face it

Gone, gone, gone away

Baby's gone away

Yeah, I'd pay the devil to replace him

I'd pay the devil, I'd pay the devil

I'd pay the devil, sure, I'd pay the devil

Gone, gone, gone away

Baby's gone away

Yeah, gotta learn how to face it

Gone, gone, gone away

Baby's gone away

Yeah, I'd pay the devil to replace him

I'd pay the devil, I'd pay the devil

I'd pay the devil, sure, I'd pay the devil

Gone, gone, gone away

Baby's gone away

Yeah, gotta learn how to face it

Gone, gone, gone away

Baby's gone away

Yeah, I'd pay the devil to replace him

I'd pay the devil, I'd pay the devil

I'd pay the devil, sure, I'd pay the devil
