Who Will It Be lyrics

The word on the street

says I'm the means to an end.

Everybody knows it,

so let's not pretend.

No, baby.

Now that we both know

that it's over,

there's just one thing

I've gotta know:

Tell me, who will it be 

after I'm gone, baby?

(Who will...)

Who will it be

after I'm gone now?

(Who will it be after me?)

You are what you are,

you'll always do like you've done.

No one's gonna change you,

you'll always be on the run.

When someone takes your love for granted,

you'll surely take him for a fool.

Who will it be  

after I'm gone?

(Who will...)

Who will it be

after I'm gone?

(Who will it be after me?)

After me?

Now that you're through with me, baby,

who will it be after me?

Now that we both know

that it's over,

there's just one thing

I gotta know:

Who will it be  

after I'm gone?

(Who will...)

Who will it be now, baby,

after I'm gone?

Tell me, who will it be after me?

After I'm gone, after I'm gone.

(Who will...)

Tell me, who will it be?

Now, now, now, now, baby.

Now, tell me...

(Who will it be after me?)

Come on and tell me, baby.

(Who will, who will it be?)

Well, it sure won't be me, no, baby.
