Lyrics
[Chorus]
When you're gone, it feels like
My whole world's gone with you
I thought love would be my cure
But now it's my disease
I try to act mature
But I'm a baby when you leave
How can I ever get used to being without you?
Uh, yeah
[Chorus]
Baby, baby, baby
Am I addicted
When I need you here all the time? Oh
And I'm not sure if this is healthy
Is it a sickness?
'Cause I feel like I'm losing my mind
And I know that there's no medicine
Nothing I can take, no remedy
Baby, please stay, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus]
When you're gone, it feels like
My whole world's gone with you
I thought love would be my cure
But now it's my disease
My disease
I try to act mature
But I'm a baby when you leave
How can I ever get used to being without you?
[Verse 1]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby
I get a fever
Just the thought of you leaving my side
Oh, and I'm not the same till you're back holding me
That's all I need, oh yeah
[Chorus]
When you're gone, it feels like
When you're gone, baby
My whole world's gone with you
Gone with you
I thought love would be my cure
But now it's my disease
My disease
I try to act mature
But I'm a baby when you leave
How can I ever get used to being without you?
[Bridge]
Oh, whoa
Here's what I'm going through when you're gone
Some serious symptoms of withdrawal
Tossing and turning in my bed
Waking up drenched in a cold sweat
Lying here lonely for you
What am I supposed to do
When I'm stuck and I can't get enough of your love?
Oh, whoa, baby
[Chorus]
When you're gone, it feels like
When you're gone, baby
My whole world's gone with you
Gone with you
I thought love would be my cure
But now it's my disease
My disease
I try to act mature
But I'm a baby when you leave
How can I ever get used to being without you?
