  • Since you've been gone
    There's something I want to say
    Since you've been gone
    There's no one taking your place
    Since you've been gone
    I've just been foolin' around
    Since you've been gone
    This world's been turned upside down
    Didn't think I'd find a girl that I could not forget
    Anything we started not so long ago - ain't over yet

    Since you've been gone
    Staring at your photograph
    And I know it won't be long
    An' I know you're coming back

    You turned me on
    Since the first time I set eyes on you
    You turned me on
    Ooh the things you want me to do
    Don't get me wrong
    'cos you're not the only girl I've ever had
    But since you've been gone
    Girl you know the thought of you's driving me mad
    All I do is think of you I lie awake - lie awake
    And no matter how I try this loneliness - you know I can't take

    Since you've been gone
    Staring at your photograph
    And I know it won't be long
    An' I know you're coming back

    Since you've been gone
    There's something I want to say
    Since you've been gone
    There's no one to stand in my way
    Since you've been gone
    So scared of losing this time
    Since you've been gone
    Girl you know that I can't get you out of my mind

    Since you've been gone
    Staring at your photograph
    And I know that I was wrong
    An' I know you're coming back
    Since you've been gone
    Tried my best to read between the lines
    If some things are hard to say
    You better tell me one more time
    Since you've been gone
    Since you've been gone Writer/s: Aretha Franklin, Ted White
