My Long Gone Boy

I heard Bruno Mars' "Young Wild Girls" track off his new album, Unorthodox Jukebox, the other day and I just fell in love with the melody. It's just unfortunate that the lyrics are about womanizing. I thought the song would sound a lot better if it spoke of (pardon my cheesiness) lost love. *sob* 

So here's my own romanticized version of the lyrics of the song. Please be kind and don't shoot me in the head when you get to the end. :D

"My Long Gone Boy"

(Sung to the melody of Bruno Mars' "Young Wild Girls")

I spent most of my time

Lookin' for someone new

I was tired of all the cryin'

I thought it's the best thing to do

We were no longer happy

We were fightin' all the time

Oh darlin', ain't it funny

It's ourselves we couldn't fight

But when I find myself alone

I realize that all along, all along

Chorus:

Oh my long gone boy

You were the one for me

Oh my long gone boy

You brought out the best in me

The best in me

Oh my long gone boy

I'm telling you the truth

Oh my long gone boy

I'll always come home to you

Come home to you

We survived so many trials

And they tried to break us down

But we never lost the fire

They never got to put it out

So I still wonder what went wrong

Cause we had love that was so strong

Should we have ceased

After our first kiss?

That I don't know

I don't know

Just when I thought that I've moved on

I realize that all along, all along

Chorus:

Oh my long gone boy

You were the one for me

Oh my long gone boy

You brought out the best in me

The best in me

Oh my long gone boy

I'm telling you the truth

Oh my long gone boy

I'll always come home to you

Come home to you

You, you, you

You, you, you

Oh my long gone boy

You will always be

My Olongapo boy (haha)

Who taught me how to live, you set me free

Oh my long gone boy

I must embrace my truth

That my long gone boy

Will never come back to me, come back to me

Oh you
