When I'm Gone – English Lyrics

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

How come, 3 in the morning you call me up?

Said you miss me and you need some love

For the tenth time now

Who you think you're fooling?

and I must say

round of applause for what you did

Wrapped me right 'round your fingertips

But I ain't falling for your bull no more

It's funny how you only want me when I'm gone

Only miss me when I'm not around

Only need me when you're feelin' lonely

And you need someone to keep you warm

You only miss me when I'm gone

Only want me when I'm not around

Only need me when you're feelin' lonely

And that's the only time you'll ever call

When you gonna wake up?

When you gonna see

That I'm the only one that cares for you and me

cause when I try to call you

I don't hear back for weeks

And then all of a sudden you're begging to see me

So take one long bow for what you did

Cause I believed in you, you're just like the rest

but I ain't falling for your bull no more

It's funny how you only want me when I'm gone

Only miss me when I'm not around

Only need me when you're feelin' lonely

And you need someone to keep you warm

You only miss me when I'm gone

Only want me when I'm not around

Only need me when you're feelin' lonely

and that's the only time you'll ever call

It's funny how you only want me when I'm gone

Only miss me when I'm not around

Only need me when you're feelin' lonely

And you need someone to keep you warm

You only miss me when I'm gone

Only want me when I'm not around

Only need me when you're feelin' lonely

And that's the only time you'll ever call

It's funny how you only want me when I'm gone

Only miss me when I'm not around

Only need me when you're feelin' lonely

And you need someone to keep you warm

You only miss me when I'm gone

Only want me when I'm not around

Only need me when you're feelin' lonely

And that's the only time you'll ever call
