Now listen honey while i say How can you fix your mind to say you're going away Don't say that we must part Don't break my aching heart You know you love me True for many years Love me night and day Can't you see my tears How can you leave me Listen while i say After you've gone and left me crying, After you've gone there's no denying, You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad, You'll miss the greatest mama that you ever ever ever had. There'll come a time, don't you forget it, There'll come a time when you'll regret it. Some day when you grow lonely, Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only, After you've gone, after you've gone away After you've gone and left me crying, After you've gone there's no denying, You'll feel blue, you'll feel sad, You'll miss the greatest pal you ever had. There'll come a time, don't you forget it, There'll come a time when you'll regret it. Some day when you grow lonely, Your heart will break like mine and you'll want me only, After you've gone, after you've gone away Oh yeah After you've gone, after you've gone away
