As Gone As I Can Be

You said you'd always love me
Until the day you die
And I would always answer
With an oh-so-solemn sigh

You said you'd always need me
Without me you'd be blue
You said I really send you
And I said you send me, too.

    You send me, Baby
    And I'm just as gone as I can be
    You really send me
    I'm just as gone as I can be.

Then just last night you called me
And said you must be true
You said you'd found an other
And you worried what I'd do.

Well, yes, it's true I wanted you
And we had lots of fun
But I guess that I should tell you now
You weren't the only one

    Don't worry, Baby,
    I'm as gone as I can be
    Don't worry 'bout me,
    I'm just as gone as I can be

You said there is no fury
Like a woman scorned
Or maybe you should worry
That I do no more than mourn

I ain't chasin', I ain't cryin',
I won't sit around and whine,
Cause when it comes to missing you
I haven't got the time.

    Don't tell me goodbye,
    I'm just as gone as I can be
    No time for so-long
    I'm just as gone as I can be.
