While You Were Gone - Jennifer Paige

I read you wrong

You said you’d only be away a while

But the days turned into weeks

And the weeks into miles, baby, why?

You could’ve told me you were tellin' me goodbye

Could’ve come clean and let me walk away in style

(Oh, oh, oh)

Funny thing is…

While I was missin' you

While I was figurin' what was I gonna do?

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?

I feel so good about myself

Funny thing happened to me, baby

While you were gone

You look surprised

Like no one ever left you and survived

But leavin' me alone

Has kinda opened my eyes

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

And I found strength inside of me I never knew

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Funny thing is…

While he was holding me

While he was showing me how it’s supposed to be

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?

I feel so good about myself

Funny thing happened to me, baby

While you were gone

Didn’t break, didn’t cry

I just tell my head I’m fine

I learned how to say goodbye

While you were gone

I had time on my hands

Boy, what don’t you understand?

Funny thing happened to me, baby

While you were gone

While you were, while you were gone

(While you was gone, I got strong)

While you were, while you were gone

(I learned how to get along) I got strong

While he was gone, I got strong

While he was holdin' me

While he was showin me

How it’s supposed to be, oh oh whoa

Didn’t break, didn’t cry

I just tell my head I’m fine

I learned how to say goodbye

While you were gone

I had time on my hands

Boy, what don’t you understand?

Funny thing happened to me, baby

While you were gone

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?

Boy, what don’t you understand?

Funny thing happened to me baby

(While he was gone) While you were gone

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

Funny thing happened to me, baby

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
