Since You Went Away

Since you went away
I ain't never been the same, baby

(Since you went away, I ain't never been the same)
Since you went away
(Never been nobody, ain't never been nobody)
Ain't never been nobody
(Since you went away, I ain't never been the same)
Since you went away
(Never been nobody, ain't never been nobody)
Ain't never been nobody

You walked out and left me in the shadows
I always thought that you wanted me forever
You took my heart, my soul and my affection
Now that you've gone I've lost my whole direction

Sometimes I feel that you're still here with me
But when I wake up I realise that this just a dream
Now you're gone away from me
And all I wanna say

(Since you went away, I ain't never been the same)
Since you went away
(Never been nobody, ain't never been nobody)
Ain't never been nobody
(Since you went away, I ain't never been the same)
Since you went away
(Never been nobody, ain't never been nobody)
Ain't never been nobody

Our love was a perfect combination
We had a thing that was real
All of a sudden without an indication
You took my heart and left the situation

But now you're gone away from me forever
The situation's getting worse instead of getting better
Now you're gone away from me
And all I wanna say

(Since you went away, I ain't never been the same)
Since you went away
(Never been nobody, ain't never been nobody)
Ain't never been nobody
(Since you went away, I ain't never been the same)
Since you went away
(Never been nobody, ain't never been nobody)
Ain't never been nobody

But now you're gone away from me forever
The situation's getting worse instead of getting better
Now you're gone away from me
And all I wanna say

(Since you went away, I ain't never been the same)
Since you went away
(Never been nobody, ain't never been nobody)
Ain't never been nobody
(Since you went away, I ain't never been the same)
Since you went away
(Never been nobody, ain't never been nobody)
Ain't never been nobody

(Since you went away, I ain't never been the same)
Since you went away
(Never been nobody, ain't never been nobody)
Ain't never been nobody
(Since you went away, I ain't never been the same)
Since you went away
(Never been nobody, ain't never been nobody)
Ain't never been nobody
