Are you trying to put me on? I turned around and it was gone.
Did I leave it in your car? On a table in a bar?
Or in your bed between the sheets? The places where we used to meet.
Wherever love has gone I need to know.
`Cos she`s a woman,
Oh yeah, she`s a woman.
Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma Ma she`s a lady.
And I just love the way she moves, the way she moves, Watch her.
When you left I didn`t know how I was going to forget you.
I was hanging by a thread and then I met her.
Selling pictures of herself to German business men.
Well, that`s all she wants to do.
Come on, come on. I don`t want to try too hard.
I don`t want to wait too long.
I don`t want to live alone with all this crap that pulls me down.
Oh, tell me now, how would it feel if I could touch you once again.
Where have you gone, where have you gone.
The moon has gone down on the sun, Oh yeah.
I know that you`re coming home.
You wouldn`t leave me on my own.
Everybody can`t you see, she`s coming back to me.
Whilst you were gone I got along.
I didn`t die, I carried on & I went drinking every night just
so I could feel alright.
Stayed in bed all day to feel OK. I felt OK.
Oh I felt sick & tired, yes I did.
She lived at her father`s place, played his records though they jumped.
Wore her body back to front.
I tried hard to make it work,
kissed her where she said it hurt but I was always underneath.
She`s a woman...[etc.]
I don`t know why you pretend that it causes you pain
When you know very well you`re going to do it again.
You`re going to do it again & again & again
but can you keep it going all nite long?
I know it`s going to happen.
It might not be today.
It might not be tomorrow or even the day after but some time soon
You`ll see, you`re going to come back to me.
Whilst you were gone...etc.
Whilst you were gone I got along. I didn`t die, I carried on.
Oh yeah I went with other women, what else can I say?
I guess I kind of missed you whilst you were away.
Whilst you were gone. (stop).
