| Try to be good when I’m gone
|
| Though nothing you could do would be that wrong
|
| I just wish it didn’t have to be so long
|
| But try to be good when I’m gone, when I’m gone
|
| I’m sorry I can’t stop to listen
|
| But I’ve got so much to do and I’ve got some place to be
|
| The house looks like the aftermath of a hurricane
|
| I hope it stays that way
|
| My timing couldn’t be any worse if I tried
|
| But I find it gets easier in time
|
| Try to be good when I’m gone
|
| Though nothing you could do would be that wrong
|
| I just wish it didn’t have to be so long
|
| But try to be good when I’m gone, when I’m gone
|
| I wonder if you ever wonder
|
| If I’m somewhere I’d rather be
|
| Doing something I’d rather do
|
| The suitcase always starts a countdown
|
| I know it’s ticking away
|
| But it’s moving too slow for me
|
| My timing couldn’t be any worse if I tried
|
| But I find it gets easier in time
|
| Try to be good when I’m gone
|
| Though nothing you could do would be that wrong
|
| I just wish it didn’t have to be so long
|
| But try to be good when I’m gone, when I’m gone |
