Since You Been Gone - James Brown, The Original J.B.s

I get the same old dreams, same time every night

Fall to the ground and I wake up

So I get out of bed, put on my shoes, and in my head

Thoughts fly back to the break-up

These four walls are closing in

Look at the fix you’ve put me in

Since you been gone, since you been gone

I’m outta my head, can’t take it

Could I be wrong?

But since you been gone

You cast the spell, so break it

Ohh, whoa, ohh

Since you been gone

So in the night I stand beneath the back street light

I read the words that you sent to me

I can take the afternoon, the night-time comes around too soon

You can’t know what you mean to me

Your poison letter, your telegram

Just goes to show you don’t give a damn

Since you been gone, since you been gone

I’m outta my head, can’t take it

Could I be wrong?

But since you been gone

You cast the spell, so break it

Ohh, whoa, ohh

Since you been gone

If you will come back

Baby, you know

You’ll never do wrong, huh

Since you been gone, since you been gone

I’m outta my head, can’t take it

Could I be wrong?

But since you been gone

You cast the spell, so break it

Whoa, ohh, ohh, ohh

Ever since you been gone

Since you been gone, since you been gone

I’m outta my head, can’t take it

Since you been gone, since you been gone
