Yankovic, Weird Al - Since You've Been Gone Lyrics






Since you've been gone
Well, I feel like I've been chewing on tinfoil
Since you've been gone
It's like I got a great big mouthful of cod liver oil
Oh well, I'm feelin like I stuck my hand
Inside a blender and turned it on
You know, I've been in a buttload of pain
Since you've been gone

(Since you've been gone)
I couldn't feel any worse if you dropped
A two-ton bowling ball on my toes
(Since you've been gone)
It couldn't hurt any more if you shoved
A red-hot cactus up my nose

Since you've been gone
Well, it feels like I'm getting tetanus shots every day
Since you've been gone
It's like I've got an ice cream headache that won't go away
Ever since that day you left me
I've been so miserable, my dear
I feel almost as bad as I did
When you were still here

Yankovic, Weird Al Since You've Been Gone Comments
  1. B.... C....

    Hahaha that last lyric! Nails it every time!

  2. -.... B....

    I didn't think about it until just recently. But Weird Al needs to make a movie. (It would probably be considered a Romantic Comedy.) And each scene would have to do with one of his "love" songs.

    Wanna B Ur Lovr (probably for a scene where he's dating the girl)
    Good Enough For Now (wedding scene)
    I Was Only Kidding (honeymoon scene)
    You Don't Love Me Anymore (???)
    One More Minute (breakup scene)
    Since You've Been Gone (???)

    I'm pretty sure you can also fit in Melanie. (and probably You Make Me) But I don't know how,

  3. l.... t....

    In '96 Coolio's Gangsta's Paradise and Weird Al's Amish Paradise formed a symbiotic relationship in my head and I have never been able to sing one without automatically inserting lines from the other. Ten year old me hated it, 33 me wouldn't give that up but for 10s of dollars.

  4. K.... G....

    This song is perfect for how I'm feeling right about now lol, all jokes aside

  5. D.... ....

    Yap yap dimmydow bop bop doobadow doobadoo babbadow babbadoo babbadow

  6. T.... ....

    This song is radical!

  7. A.... M....

    This is my go-to shower song. Good acoustics.

  8. s.... ....

    My favorite song on the album

  9. w.... ....

    His best track, and not even a parody!

  10. M.... G....

    Ode to Roman reigns on Raw

  11. -.... B....

    Another comedy acapella with a funny ending

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJssMPjJF-0

  12. A.... N....

    This one is for you Kevin....

  13. n.... c....

    CNN IS THE american idiot 🗽🎯🦅

  14. N.... R....

    I can't stop laughing this song is SOLID GOLD

  15. M.... ....

    Well I'm feeling like I'm just got wasted by level 3 sentry gun...

  16. M.... ....

    There's the vulgar, auto tuned, greedy, modern day parody guy who calls himself "The King of Parody." He gets hundreds of millions of views for dressing up like the artist and insulting them with trash he's copied from their video's comment section.
    Then there's Al. Writing gold and barely getting a listen. What a shame.

    M.... ....

    Don't worry about Weird Al. He was selling millions of records when you could still make a fortune in the music business.

    M.... ....

    I didn't think about it until now. But he should make a new auto tune version of this song.

  17. p.... ....

    When Weird Al makes relatable song.

  18. T.... ....

    This song is literally the first thing that pops in my head when I first see or hear the phrase "since you've been gone."

  19. A.... M....

    "Like" if you're watching this during the Pence presidency.

  20. W.... ....

    0:51 i love this part for some reason

    W.... ....

    Me too. lol

  21. M.... ....

    Infinitely better song than that one that Kelly Clarkson did.

  22. B.... I....

    Honestly, all jokes aside those harmonies are killer!

    B.... I....

    Belac Ickekl he's mainly the harmonies as well it sounds like it's like he did 10 tracks of his harmonies behind it

    B.... I....

    On top of everything else, Weird Al is a great singer. That's why he's still my favorite "novelty" artist after all these years.

  23. V.... ....

    The UC Berkely Men's Octet did a great version of this song. Check it out!

  24. J.... P....

    hard to imagine why this has any dislikes. it's hilarious

  25. A.... ....

    TORCHED

  26. B.... J....

    Play this at a funeral.

  27. j.... j....

    This is actually a great song

  28. H.... R....

    I got this CD as a kid...I think I may have been 9......this song made me laugh thinking about chewing on foil....now at 27.....i finally get it

    H.... R....

    i still don't get it. seriously.

    H.... R....

    😂 such a good song

  29. F.... ....

    I had this album when I was a kid, but album cover was different. He was in strange looking shoes and was bending over backwards is all i remember. I'm confused because I cant seem to find an image anywhere. If I still had it would it be that rare? does anybody know what I'm talking about?

    F.... ....

    Are you sure it wasn't a greatest hits album?

    F.... ....

    Jason Smith yes, I believe it's the inside of the back cover.

  30. D.... ....

    This man writes THEE best break up songs LOL

  31. N.... S....

    Even weird al gets it, damn.. these females nowadays just want control, and this shit was made in the 90s .. some things never change.

  32. C.... W....

    18 years later this song still randomly pops into my head for no reason.

    C.... W....

    It's been in my head for days outta nowhere.. finally had to get on YT and scratch that itch

    C.... W....

    It's great for beatboxing and drumming practice!!! :D

    C.... W....

    I know right

    C.... W....

    Yap yap dimmydow bop bop doobadow doobadoo babbadow babbadoo babbadow

    C.... W....

    (4 years later so 22 years later)...dude yes!! this and VERY other song on this album.

  33. M.... ....

    I can't stop laughing! The harmonies are so lovely!

  34. g.... !....

    Want this played at my funeral.

    g.... !....

    OMG YES! for me it was a tout le monde, but maybe i should change it to this

  35. D.... N....

    original song is surfer girl by the beach boys.

    D.... N....

    Not at all, it is an original

    D.... N....

    Pretty sure this is an original song. o.O

    D.... N....

    It doesn't even slightly resemble Surfer Girl...

    D.... N....

    +mharbaugh No, but it IS in the style of that old kinda music. Give him a little credit you guys lol

    D.... N....

    +THEGREATMAX his beach boys style parody was "Trigger Happy" from Off the Deep End

  36. E.... A....

    Played this for my daughter when she returned Home She really liked it up until the end Oh well so much for appreciation hehe

    E.... A....

  37. B.... C....

    This album hit big in '96.

  38. H.... C....

    My Girlfreind of 3 years just left me recently and this song is perfect for discribing my feelings towards that event. God Bless you Weird AL.

    H.... C....

    Henry Chilton preach it brother.

  39. F.... ....

    a.... ....

    arsxxmoriendi I wouldn't say he's underrated but is definitely underplayed :)

  46. s.... ....

    I listened to this album so much when I was younger that this song plays in my head at least 2 times a day

  47. S.... W....

    This should be a video response to Taylor Swifts Never Getting Back Together.

    Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars?

    Remember the famous yellow subscribe button?

    @jelaninoel i know right

  75. D.... C....

    @LordOFThisWorld19 Who DOESN'T want to be Weird Al?

  76. C.... ....

    :D I sent this to my sister when she moved out.

  77. o.... ....

    "But load of pain" Wow such bad language! LOL

    LOVE AL!!!

    o.... ....

    This doesn't involve "language". But at least he didn't say anything about the gas station of love.

  78. L.... ....

    @TheSuperBearfoot I don't think Weird Al ever did "Ugly Girl" I am pretty sure it was the guy who wants to be Weird Al but isn't.

  79. W.... ....

    buttload of pain...ha ha ha

  80. T.... ....

    @kelaEQ2 Well, I like his work, but I've never dug down in his musicstyle for real..

  81. k.... ....

    @TheSuperBearfoot NP, and consitering the large number of people who seem to think Weird Al sings all Comidy songs, it is an easy mistake to make. Unless your extreemly familar with his music, or have a good ear for his voice.

  82. T.... ....

    @kelaEQ2 Sorry, I misunderstood you.. Thought you meant 3 of all of his songs... I'm sorry about the Ugly Girl mistake, but it's easy to be confused, when most YouTubers think it is an Weird Al song.. Most uploads of it inhere are listed as Weird Al.... Generally sorry for the disturbance...

  83. k.... ....

    @TheSuperBearfoot Thanks for proving my point, all FIVE of the Wierd Al songs you listed are on seperate releases, each of wich has 1 or 2 addtional parodies on it, plus a number of Original Comidy songs, and a style parody or two, plus a polka on most of them. The reason I said 5 is becahse Ugly Girl is not a Wierd Al song.

  84. T.... ....

    @kelaEQ2 1: Saga begins (Parody of: Don Mclean - American Pie
    2: Fat (Parody of: Michael Jackson - Bad)
    3: Eat it (Parody of:: Michael Jackson - Beat It)
    4: Ebay (Parody of: Backstreet Boys - I Want It That Way)
    5: Amish Pardise (Parody of: Coolio Featuring L.V. - Gangster's Paradise)
    6: Ugly Girl (Parody of: Aqua - Barbie Girl)
    Should I go on?

    T.... ....

    Ugly Girl wasn't Weird Al.

  85. p.... n....

    @trankquilizer
    Its not a specific parody. But it's definitely parodying a genre.

  86. k.... ....

    Yep, about half the songs on his releases are original. Really only about 3 or so are direct Parodies, then there are a few Style Parodies, like Dare to be Stupid, where it is an original work in the style of someone else(Devo in that case), then there is completely original works, such as this. Then lastly there is the Polka.

  87. j.... ....

    It's not a parody; this is Weird Al's own original work.

  88. R.... R....

    shi- that ho aint never gettin a job, diggin for gold

  89. j.... ....

    this is the perfect song to pay an acapella group to sing for your X at their job.

  90. J.... D....

    love that song =]]]]

  91. t.... ....

    hehe, I'll admit it, I sent this to an ex once.
