Arif Mardin - She's Gone lyrics

Everybody's high on consolation Everybody's trying to tell me what is right for me, yeah My daddy tried to bore me with a sermon But it's plain to see that they can't comfort me Sorry, Charlie, for the imposition I think I got it (got it), I got the strength to carry on, oh yeah I need a drink and a quick decision Now it's up to me, ooh, what will be She's gone, she's gone Oh I, oh I I better learn how to face it She's gone, she's gone Oh I, oh I I'd pay the devil to replace her She's gone, and she's gone Oh why, what went wrong? Get up in the morning, look in the mirror I'm worn as a toothbrush hanging in the stand, yeah My face ain't looking any younger Now I can see love's taken a toll on me She's gone, she's gone Oh I, oh I I better learn how to face it She's gone, and she's gone Oh I, oh I I'd pay the devil to replace her She's gone, and she's gone Oh why, what went wrong? Think I'll spend eternity in the city Let the carbon and monoxide choke my thoughts away, yeah And pretty bodies help dissolve the memories They can never be what she was (was) to (to) me She's gone, she's gone Oh I, oh I I better learn how to face it She's gone, and she's gone Oh I, oh I I'd pay the devil to replace her She's gone, and she's gone Oh I, what went wrong? She's gone Oh I, I better learn how to face it She's gone, she's gone I can't believe that she's gone Oh I, I'd pay the devil to replace her She's gone Oh I, I better learn how to face it She's gone, she's gone I can't believe that she's gone Oh I, I'd pay the devil to replace her She's gone, she's gone She's gone, she's gone She's gone, she's gone ...
