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 longBut 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'm fine, 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′m fine, 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
