Lyrics
I couldn't figure out who your friends were talking about
This wonderful man that you could not live without
He treated you so good and was such a good lover
He must have stepped out of a GQ cover
Got a little jealous wondering who he could be
Then I realized they were talking about me
Since I?ve been gone, seems I?m a whole lot thinner
A few inches taller and a natural born winner
(Chorus)
Boy, since I've been gone,
It?s funny hearing what I?ve become
A man that can?t do wrong
But in reality, I?ve been the same old me
Since I?ve been gone
(guitar hook)
When we were together you only saw my faults
I couldn't be depended upon, could not be taught
It?s hard to recall anything that I did right
I may be just a little bit slow bit it feels like
(Chorus) (guitar hook)
(bridge)
I?d like to get back with you if I could
But you are in love with a figment of your imagination
I couldn?t figure out who your friends were talking about
This wonderful man that you could not live without
He treated you good and was such a good lover
He must have stepped out of a GQ cover
Whoa, since I?ve been gone(3 times)
