When I’m Gone

Smokey Robinson

[Verse 1]
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, now

[Verse 2]
What are you gonna say to your friends?
When the talk around town begins
Will you tell them how you treated me bad?
Will you tell them how you made me so sad? (So sad)

[Chorus]
You make some people
Think that you love me a lot
They just don't know you
And what they see isn't what we've got

[Verse 3]
We're happy in the public eye (Happy in the public's eye)
They think you're such a wonderful guy (Think you're such a wonderful guy)
But they don't know how much you've lied
And they don't know how much I've cried
You're a real Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde

[Chorus]
You make a pass at
Every girl that you see
Then when they hurt you
You come right back crying to me

[Verse 4]
I comfort you whenever you're low (Comfort you whenever you're low)
And you don't have no place you can go (You don't have a place you can go)
You put your head on my shoulder to cry
And then you turn around and tell me a lie
And I just can't take it, I've gotta make it, now

[Outro]
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?
What are you gonna do when I'm gone?
What are you gonna do when I'm gone?
