[ Featuring
Quincy Jones, His Orchestra ]
After you've gone, and left me crying
After you've gone, there's no denying
You'll feel blue, you're gonna be sad
You've missed the dearest pal that
(slickest partner) you ever had
There'll come a time,
Don't you forget it
(yeah) there'll come a time,
When you're gonna regret it
Some day when you get lonely
Your heart will break like mine,
(and) you'll want me only
After you've gone (split),
After you've gone away (flown the coop)
After we paid, our dues together
You should have stayed,
Through all that nasty weather
Someday while you're feeling badly
You'll need the only one that loves you so madly
But I'll be gone, yes I'll be gone, to stay
Yeah after I've gone, after I've gone away
