when you re gone

The Rolling Stones

I don t want to think about you when you re gone
I don t want to hear your voice talk on the phone
All those notes and all those cards
I m going to throw them in the yard
I m going to put them in the trash where they belong

I just want a clean slate, I think I will redecorate
Slap some fresh new colors on the walls
I ll throw away your letters and rip up all your sweaters
You can t haunt me, you can t taunt me when you re gone, ah yeah

Accentuate the positive, that s what the people say
Talk it up, don t let it get you down
But there s so many negatives that pass along the way
Throw them in the river, let em drown

Bury them in the ground, yeah

I don t want to read about you when you re gone
I don t want to hear about the things you ve done
I put a filter in my brain, I want to cut out all that pain
I don t want to hear about you when you re gone

Don t want to hear those melodies, they re like a touch of leprosy
I ve grown to hate our favourite song
If I hear it on the radio, I grab the damn remote control
You can t haunt me, you can t taunt me when you re gone, aah

When you re gone
All right
