While You Were Gone [*]

I read you wrong You said you'd only be away a while But the days turned into weeks And the weeks into miles, baby why? You could've told me you were tellin' me goodbye Could've come clean and let me walk away in style Funny thing is..... While I was missin' you While I was figurin "what was I gonna do?" I got wise I got hip I caught on to your tricks I got over it real quick yeah baby While you were gone Now I'm cool Can't you tell? Feel so good about myself Funny thing happened to me baby While you were gone You look surprised Like no one ever left you and survived But leavin' me alone Has kinda opened my eyes Baby you, you gave me the time To find somebody new And I found strength inside of me I never knew Funny thing is While he was holding me While he was showing me how it's supposed to be I got wise I got hip I caught on to your tricks I got over it real quick yeah baby While you were gone Now I'm cool Can't you tell? Feel so good about myself Funny thing happened to me baby While you were gone Didn't break Didn't cry I just tell my head I'm fine I learned how to say goodbye While you were gone I had time on my hands Boy what don't you understand? Funny thing happened to me baby While you were gone oh... oh... While you were gone I learned how to get along While he was gone I got strong While he was holdin me While he was showin me How it's supposed to be, oh oh whoa Didn't break Didn't cry I just tell my head I'm fine I learned how to say goodbye While you were gone I had time on my hands Boy what don't you understand? Funny thing happened to me baby While you were gone I got wise I got hip I caught on to your tricks I got over it real quick yeah baby While you were gone Now I'm cool Can't you tell? Feel so good about myself Funny thing happened to me baby While you were gone Repeat til fade
