[Verse 1]
If by chance that we should
Ever meet again
It will be under the circumstances
That it's fate
If by chance that we should
Ever speak again
It would be a friendly conversation
Nothing else
[Chorus]
Ooooh, how can it be?
That all your years here with me have gone
Right down the drain
And you say, you say I'm to blame
But you're gone...
[Refrain]
Now you're gone....
You're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone!
You're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone!
[Verse 2]
If by chance that you feel
That you've made a mistake
I will come back running to you
That's the truth
If by chance that you feel
That I'm still in love
You can tell by my reaction
You're not mine(?)
[Chorus]
Ooooh, how can it be?
That all your years here with me have gone
Right down the drain
And you say, you say I'm to blame
But now you're gone...
[Refrain]
You're gone...
You've gone and left me all alone!
You're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone!
You're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone!
[Verse 3]
If by chance that we should
Ever meet again
It will be under the circumstances
That it's fate
If by chance that we should
Ever speak again
It would be a friendly conversation
Nothing else
[Chorus]
Ooooh, how can it be?
That all your years here with me have gone
Right down the drain
And you say, I'm to blame
But now you're gone...
[Refrain]
You've gone, and left me ...
You're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone!
You're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone!
[Chorus]
Ooooh, how can it be?
That all your years here with me have gone
Right down the drain
And you say, you say I'm to blame
But now you're gone...
[Outro]
You've gone away...
You left me
You're long gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
You're long gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
You've gone away...
