Keep your sunny-side up and a painted smile <br />Skip down the road dressed in style <br />You’ve gotta keep face and hide the blues <br />When it falls apart and you’re so confused <br /> <br />Chorus <br />O o, when the love is gone <br />There’s nowhere left to hide <br />Where will you go, where will you run <br />When you’re empty inside? <br /> <br />In a million houses where the curtains close <br />They argue and shout; no-one knows <br />They live separate lives, separate ways <br />Yet they stay together acting out their days <br /> <br />You were starry-eyed right from the start <br />You promised you would give your heart <br />But all you gave were deceit and lies <br />Now it’s all over don’t look surprised <br /> <br />Don’t cry now baby, don’t shed a tear <br />I don’t want you coming back round here <br />You’ve used me now for far too long <br />Now you’re back just where you belong <br /> <br />Well you chased the illusion for a while <br />Felt satisfied by your lover’s smile <br />Now everything they do and say is wrong <br />And you ask yourself where you belong<br /><br />Patrick Scott Hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-the-love-is-gone-rock-and-roll-song/
