Oh baby there's a letter on the floor

That I just can't read no more

'Cause the words upon

It's face are sayin' goodbye

There's a plate upon the table

Filled with food I could not eat

There's a made-up bed in the bedroom

Where I couldn't sleep

I just sit and weep

Oh baby

That's how it is since you've been gone

That's how it is

I'm so all alone

Now the curtains are drawn in my lonely room

And the darkness fills the air

And this old empty heart of mine is in despair

Even though the tears I shed

Washed the words away

I could still remember

Every word you had to say

They just wouldn't go away

Oh baby

That's how it is since you've been gone

That's how it is

I'm so all alone

Oh baby you knew right from the start

That my heart was in your hands

And your every every wish

Boy was my command

That's why I can't understand

How you could leave me here helpless dear

Alone and afraid

Oh how could such a mistake be made

But that's how it is since you've been gone

That's how it is

I'm so alone oh baby

That's how it is since you've been gone

That's how it is I'm so alone

Oh baby

That's how it is since you've been gone
