Baby, the love we used to share
Has faded day by day
And now you want to leave me
So you're lookin' for away
And if you see a tear in my eye
It's not for you I cry

Don't you know I tried to make our love
Like every love should be
You say it ain't enough
So you're walking out on me
But if you can't find just what you want
Don't you come runnin' back to me

Baby, I know you think I'm at home
Cryin' the blues
But remember darlin'
Somebody else will want what you couldn't use
Oh, yeah, what you couldn't use

Ain't no sad song
Since you've been gone
Ain't no sad song
Since you've been gone
You made me so very, very happy boy
But if you don't want to be mine

Hey, when will I stop lovin' you
Oh baby, I don't know, I don't know
All my friends give me advice
They say hang on, girl
Ooh, but I want him
Hang on girl
I don't need him

The clock didn't stop ticking
'Cause you let me be
Time will let nobody
Take your love from me

You made me so very, very happy boy
But if you don't want to be mine
I know you want to be
With someone for yourself
But I know you don't want me
To be with no one else

Ain't no sad song
Since you've been gone
Ain't no sad song
Since you've been gone
Ain't no sad song
Since you've been gone
