You took a step forth
I'm left one step back
You still got what I want
but she has what I lack

I was thinking if you ever change your mind
then here I come, hoping you'll catch me
my dignity won't take me far as long as you are

Gone, gone, gone, gone
no, I'll just keep on falling
down, down, down, down

I followed you both
when you didn't see
she fits in your arms
like they used to fit me

I was thinking if you ever want me back
then here I stand, hoping you'll take me
my dignity won't take me far as long as you are

Gone, gone, gone, gone
no, I'll just keep on waiting
alone, alone, alone, alone

I'm desperate for love
and I don't care what you think of me now
I want you, yeah I do
So please hear my call
'cause my voice is sore, and I've said this before

If you ever, ever, ever change your mind
then here I am, and you might still love me
it's hard to figure out as long as you are out there

Gone, gone, gone, gone
where you don't belong
Come home, home, home, home, home
and I will make you want me
on and on and on and on

You still got what I want
but she has what I lack
I could write a song
but I couldn't change that
