Long Gone Lyrics

[Intro]
Mmn
Na-na-na-na-na-na, oh yeah-yeah
Na-na-na-na-na-na, na-na, yeah
Going, going, going, going
Long gone

[Chorus]
Uhh
You played yourself, bet you thought you played me (Hey)
You played yourself, bet you thought you played me (Hey, hey)
And when you'll realize you're wrong
I'll be going, going, going, going, going, going, long gone (I'm gone)

[Verse 1]
I hate to point out what is obvious
I need somebody who's proud of this, oh, yeah
You said you love me, but you can't commit
Is that okay? (Okay), okay (Okay), okay (Okay), okay, yeah
We ain't getting any young
The more I know the more I want to [?]
[?] but I've been thought the devil
It's okay (Okay), okay (Okay), okay (Okay), okay, yeah
I know what you waitin', waitin' at nothing
[?] a month, it's really nothing, uh
I wish I could stay until you make a change
You'll never meet another me, there's really nothing like it
[Chorus]
Uhh
You played yourself, bet you thought you played me (You're gonna miss me baby)
You played yourself, bet you thought you played me (You're gonna miss me babe)
And when you'll realize you're wrong
I'll be going, going (I'm going), going, going (I'm going), going, going (I'm going), long gone (I'm gone)(Woah)
Uhh
You played yourself, bet you thought you played me (You're gonna miss me baby)
You played yourself, bet you thought you played me (You're gonna miss me babe)
And when you'll realize you're wrong
I'll be going, going (I'm going), going, going (I'm going), going, going (I'm going), long gone (I'm gone)

[Verse 2]
[?]
The record shows that I tried
But boy, [?] I don't play
When I say I ride all night
But now you wanna blame it on me
And I won't let you [?]
I know I don't deserve the way you treat me
And I'm finally moving forward so [?] if you need me baby
A couple ways 'bout to go by
You can't be switching up so fast [?]
If you want to keep me hanging on the phone so
Or if you wanna let me go, guess to see the signs
If you don't care, you won't mind me moving on with some other guy
It's a shame 'cause I just wanted to love you and you been [?] me
[?]
[Chorus]
Uhh
You played yourself, bet you thought you played me (You're gonna miss me baby)
You played yourself, bet you thought you played me (You're gonna miss me babe)
And when you'll realize you're wrong
I'll be going, going (I'm going), going, going (I'm going), going, going (I'm going), long gone (I'm gone)(Woah)
Uhh
You played yourself, bet you thought you played me (You're gonna miss me baby)
You played yourself, bet you thought you played me (You're gonna miss me babe)
And when you'll realize you're wrong
I'll be going, going (I'm going), going, going (I'm going), going, going (I'm going), long gone (I'm gone)(Woah)

[Outro]
You're gonna miss me baby
You're gonna miss me babe
I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm gone, woah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
