Mary J. Blige - When You're Gone lyrics

Seems like we were right
But, you always have a
Problem with everything
Appreciate your advice
But sometimes I have trouble managing
Now that I'm paying attention
I see how beautiful you are
But when you spend so much time together
That image can get so dark

When you're gone i miss you like I did
When we were first together
No one in this world could
Ever hold me better
Just tell me when you're coming home
When you're gone i miss you like you took a
Piece of me with ya
Didn't think I'd care that much did ya?
Just tell me when you're coming home

Seems like we were right
But today I woke up on the wrong side
I need silence to keep me right
Otherwise today won't be nice
I wanna laugh with you again
Just like you are my best friend
But friends can always leave
And we're too close
And too close is never easy

When you're gone i miss you like I did
When we were first together
No one in this world could
Ever hold me better
Just tell me when you're coming home
When you're gone i miss you like you took a
Piece of me with ya
Didn't think I'd care that much did ya?
Just tell me when you're coming home

I'm not alone until you leave me
Now I won't get to sleep tonight
Cause you're not here beside me
When you're away it's never easy
You make it all alright i miss you

When you're gone i miss you like I did
When we were first together
No one in this world could
Ever hold me better
Just tell me when you're coming home
When you're gone i miss you like you took a
Piece of me with ya
Didn't think I'd care that much did ya?
Just tell me when you're coming home

But she also said that
She'd been waiting for someone to write with
That is
Fulfill exactly what she was looking in
Terms of production and the beat
And then once you add Jimmy and Sam into
The equation to write melodies and songs
It's like, yeah, power team
It's just good timing as well, you know?
She's just ready to it, that's what it is
She doesn't need to do this, look
She wants to and it's great, you know

It's the reason people like
Mary are so successful
Is that, they're just
They're not afraid to just change
What they do completely
