Last night as I lay sleepin
I heard you cryin' in the night
Your tears were fallin'
Steadily on my shoulders
It's then I knew that
Somethin wasn't right

Oh, tell me
What am I gonna do
When Laurie Ann is gone?
How am I gonna act?
Can I carry on?
Or will I be the victim
Of my sad songs?
When she's gone
Oh, when she's gone

Will I sigh, will I cry
Will I roll up in a big
Old ball and die
Will I try to love again
Or find out if I can
Or will I keep my
Broken heart and
Stay a bitter man

Oh, tell me
What am I gonna do
When Laurie Ann is gone?
How am I gonna act?
Can I carry on?
Or will I be the victim
Of my sad songs?
When she's gone
Oh, when she's gone

This mornin' I
Watched you rise
That far away familiar look
Was in your eyes
I watched you looking
Out the window
Starin' at the rain
It'll kill, Laurie
But I wish you'd leave
Before you go insane

Oh, tell me
What am I gonna do
When Laurie Ann is gone?
How am I gonna act?
Can I carry on?
Or will I be the victim
Of my sad songs?
When she's gone
Oh, when she's gone

Will I sigh, will I cry
Will I roll up in a big
Old ball and die
Will I try to love again
Or find out if I can
Or will I keep my
Broken heart and
Stay a bitter man

Oh, tell me
What am I gonna do
When Laurie Ann is gone?
How am I gonna act?
Can I carry on?
Or will I be the victim
Of my sad songs?
When she's gone
Oh, when she's gone

Oh, tell me
What am I gonna do
When Laurie Ann is gone?
How am I gonna act?
Can I carry on?
Or will I be the victim
Of my sad songs?
When she's gone
Oh, when she's gone
