  • Since you've been gone
    I shut my eyes and I fantasize
    That you're here with me
    Will you ever return?

    I won't be satisfied
    'Til you're by my side
    Don't wait any longer, come back

    Why don't you come back?
    Please hurry, why don't you come back?
    Please hurry

    Come back and stay for good this time
    (Did you write the book of love?)
    Come back and stay for good this time
    (Ego, envy, lust)

    When you said goodbye
    I was trying to hide what I felt inside
    Until you passed me by
    You said you'd return

    You said that you'd be mine
    'Til the end of time
    Well, don't wait any longer

    Why don't you come back?
    Please hurry, why don't you come back?
    Please hurry

    Come back and stay for good this time
    (Did you write the book of love?)
    Come back and stay for good this time
    (Ego, envy, lust)

    Oh, since you've been gone
    Opened my eyes and I realized
    What we had together
    Will you ever return?

    Or have you changed your mind?
    If you won't stay mine just love me forever
    Love me forever

    Why don't you come back?
    Please hurry, why don't you come back?
    Please hurry, why don't you come back?
    Please hurry, why don't you come back?
    Please hurry

    Just come back and stay for good this time
    (Did you write the book of love?)
    Come back and stay for good this time
    (Ego, envy, lust)
    Come back and stay for good this time
    (Did you write the book of love?)
    Come back and stay for good this time
    (Ego, envy, lust)

    Don't ever leave
    (Did you write the book of love?)
    (Ego, envy, lust)
    (Did you write the book of love?)
    All the, every-everything, we had together
    (Ego, envy, lust) I don't wanna lose you
    Don't wanna lose you
    (Did you write the book of love?) And all the time we had
    Good times and the bad
    (Ego, envy, lust) Writer/s: Jack Lee

  • Gepi from CanberraThis song sounds a lot like Don't Bother Me, a minor Beatles song written by G. Harrison...
