🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Guilty feet have got no rhythm
  • Though it's easy to pretend
  • I know you're not a fool
  • I Should've known better than to cheat a friend

Echo the hook

  • Now that you're gone
  • Now that you're gone
  • Now that you're gone
  • Was what I did so wrong
