Melanie Durrant – Gone Lyrics:
1st VERSE
He is my Solid go-to man
and he takes care of me
when the sh*t hits the fan
may bring you flowers time to time
but not before I get mine
CHORUS
Lets face it
you’re basic
I’m the main chick, master of this ship
He wants me
says he needs me
all he does is just please me
I don’t care if you think that it’s right or its
wrong wrong wrong Yeah
He only wants you when I’m Gone,
When I’m Gone
he only wants you when I’m Gone
2nd VERSE
You may call me Selfish
but you’re wrong
when ever he’s with you
it’s me his mind is on
Tell me does he close his eyes
because behind his lids
he’s looking into mine
CHORUS
Lets face it
You’re basic
I’m the main chick, master of this ship
He wants me
says he needs me
all he does is just please me
I don’t care if you think that it’s right or its
wrong wrong wrong
Listen up Lil Girl
He only wants you when I’m Gone
He only wants you when I’m Gone
BRIDGE
Lady Lady Lady can’t you see,
that man right there belongs to me
and if you want a player in you life
open up your eyes and see the light
Lady Lady Lady can’t you hear
wanna keep it straight and make myself clear
and if you think he loves you you’re so wrong
He only wants you when I’m Gone.
