Píseň: Somebody Gonna Miss Me

Interpret:
Sam Cooke
Album:
Twistin' The Night Away
Somebody's gonna miss me
 Somebody's gonna miss me
 Somebody's gonna miss me when I'm gone


 Baby, somebody's gonna miss me
 Somebody's gonna miss me
 Somebody's gonna miss me when I'm gone


 Yeah, when I begin to roam 
 A long long way from home
 I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
 Oh yes you will
 When your friends all put you down 
 And there ain't nobody else around
 I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone


 Baby let me tell you, I know you're gonna miss me
 I know you're gonna miss me
 I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone


 Oh baby, I know you're gonna miss me
 I know you're gonna miss me
 I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone


 Baby, I always kept you in my care
 Ready to give and always to share
 That's why you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
 Oh yes you will


 Someday you may forget me
 And regret the day that you ever met me
 But still you're gonna miss me when I'm gone


 Baby let me tell you, I know you're gonna miss me
 I know you're gonna miss me
 I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone


 Oh I know you're gonna miss me
 I know you're gonna miss me
 I know you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
