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, 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
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
And I went drinking every night just so I could feel alright
Stayed in bed all day to feel O.K., I felt O.K.
Oh I felt sick and 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 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 and again and 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)
