  • I've been wandering around the house all night
    Wondering what the hell to do
    But I'm trying to concentrate but
    All I can think of is you

    Well, the phone don't ring 'cause my friends ain't home
    I'm tired of being all alone
    Got the TV on 'cause the radio's playing
    Songs that remind me of you

    Baby, when you're gone
    I realize I'm in love
    Days go on and on
    And the nights just seem so long
    Even food don't taste that good
    Drink ain't doing what it should, oh
    Things just feel so wrong
    Baby, when you're gone

    I've been driving up and down these streets
    Trying to find somewhere to go
    Well, I'm looking for a familiar face
    But there's no one I know (yeah, yeah)

    Oh, this is torture, this is pain
    It feels like I'm gonna go insane
    I hope you're coming back real soon
    'Cause I don't know what to do

    Baby, when you're gone
    I realize I'm in love
    Days go on and on
    And the nights just seem so long
    Even food don't taste that good
    Drink ain't doing what it should, oh
    Things just feel so wrong
    Baby, when you're gone (here we go)

    Baby, when you're gone (Berlin, yeah)
    I realize I'm in love
    Days go on and on
    And the nights just seem so long
    Even food don't taste that good
    Drink ain't doing what it should (drink ain't doing what it should)
    Things just feel so wrong, ah ah
    Baby, when you're gone

    Oh yeah, baby, when you're gone
    Baby, when you're gone Writer/s: Bryan Adams, Eliot Kennedy
