The Rolling Stones - When You're Gone lyrics

I don't want to think about
You when you're gone
I don't want to hear your
Voice talk on the phone
All those notes and all those cards
I'm going to throw 'em in the yard
I'm going to put them in
The trash where they belong

I just want a clean slate
I think I will redecorate
Slap some fresh new colors on the walls
I'll throw away your letters and
Rip up all your sweaters
You can't haunt me, you can't
Taunt me when you're gone, ah yeah

Accentuate the positive
That's what the people say
Talk it up, don't let it get you down
But there's so many negatives that
Pass along the way
Throw them in the river, let 'em drown
Bury them in the ground, yeah

I don't want to read about
You when you're gone
I don't want to hear about
The things you've done
I put a filter in my brain
I want to cut out all that pain
I don't want to hear about
You when you're gone

Don't want to hear those melodies
They're like a touch of leprosy
I've grown to hate our favourite song
If I hear it on the radio
I grab the damn remote control
You can't haunt me, you can't
Taunt me when you're gone, ah
When you're gone all right
