You're Gonna Miss Me
Ann Sexton
You say you’re leaving me behind
But there’s just one thing
I wanna put on your mind
You know the love that you’ve been getting
I'm gonna give it to somebody new
And you’re gonna miss me, oh baby, when you’re gone
I'm going searching
You gonna miss me, oh honey, when you’re gone
Oh baby, what you gonna do?
Can you find the one who really cares for you?
How could you put your love in her hand?
And you know she can't love you like I can
You’re gonna miss me, oh baby, when you’re gone
I'm going searching
You're gonna miss me, oh honey, when you're gone
(You’re gonna miss me, you’re gonna miss me, oh!)
You gonna think about it sometimes
Fall on your knees and cry
You cry lord have mercy, lord have mercy
You gonna think about the time, honey
That you been up and said goodbye
And you’re gonna miss me, oh baby, when you’re gone
I'm going searching
You gonna miss me, oh honey, when you’re gone
You say you don’t love me no more
But you better think about it before you go
You better think about it, baby
Honey if you choose to leave
That’s alright for me (that's alright)
That's alright (that's alright)
That's alright (that's alright)
You’re gonna miss me, oh baby, when you’re gone
I'm going searching
You’re gonna miss me, oh honey, when you’re gone
You’re gonna lose a good thing when you’re gone
You don’t miss your water till the well runs dry
