You Can't Love Me When I'm Gone

(Bill Phillips - Alice Ann Kirby)



Honey, squeeze me right into and thrill my body through and through

Let your heart beat just for me alone

Let your eyes cry lot of tears you better love me while I'm here

'Cause honey, you can't love me when I'm gone.



I'm gonna be long time gone some nights when you come home

You're gonna find yourself in the middle of a teardrop all alone

Well, I stood all I can stand you better love me while you can

'Cause honey, you can't love me when I'm gone.



--- Instrumental ---



You better stop your runnin' around and put your feet back on the ground

That little white house gonna burst your standing on

Don't you call it this backyard cause these old arms are tired

And honey, they won't catch you, they'll be gone.



I'm gonna be long time gone some nights when you come home

You're gonna find yourself in the middle of a teardrop all alone

Well, I stood all I can stand you better love me while you can

'Cause honey, you can't love me when I'm gone.



'Cause honey, you can't love me when I'm gone...
