Kelly Price - While You Were Gone lyrics

Hmm, whoa, yeah, oh baby, hmm, oh

I read you wrong

You said you'd only be away a while

But the days turned into weeks

And all the weeks into miles

Baby why?

You could've told me you were telling me goodbye

Could've come clean and let me walk away in style, oh

Funny thing is

While I was missing you

While I was figuring what I was gonna do

1 - I got wise, I got hip

I caught on to your tricks

I got over it real quick, yeah baby

While you were gone

Now I'm cool, can't you tell

Feel so good about myself

A funny thing happened to me baby

While you were gone

Oh, you looked surprised

Like no one ever left you and survived, no

Well leaving me alone has kind of opened my eyes

Baby you, you gave me the time to find somebody new

And I found strength inside me I never knew, oh

Funny thing is

While he was holding me

While he was showing me how it's suppose to be

Repeat 1

Repeat 1 with ad-libs by kelly

Didn't freak, didn't cry

I just held my head up high

I learned how to say goodbye

While you were gone

Had time on my hands

Baby don't you understand

A funny thing happened to me baby

While you were gone

Had nothing but time on my hands

Learned how to understand boy

Got over you, got over you, oh

While he was holding me

While he was showing me how it's suppose to be

Oh baby

Repeat 1

While you were gone, oh

Learned to lie, learned a lesson

Learned how to get along, learned how to be strong

Learned how to love myself, while you were gone, ooh, oh
