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
