What are you gonna do when I’m gone?
Whose shoulder are you gonna cry on?
What are you gonna do on the day
When I turn my head and just walk away?
What are you gonna say to your friends
When the talk around the town begins?
Will you tell them how you treated me bad?
Will you tell them how you made me so sad?
You make some people think that you love me a lot
They just don’t know you, and what they say is, oh
You’ve got me happy in the public eye
They think you’re such a wonderful guy
But they don’t know how much you lie
And they don’t know how much I cry
You’re a real Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde

You make a pass at every girl that you see
Then when they hurt you, you come running back crying to me
I comfort you whenever you’re low
And you don’t have no place you can go
You put your head on my shoulder and cry
And then you chose not to tell me why
And I just can’t take it, I got a need to know

What are you gonna do when I’m gone?
What are you gonna do when I’m gone?
What are you gonna do when I’m gone?
What are you gonna do when I’m gone?
