I met a guy while walking down the street,
I met a guy while walking down the street;
He looked at me, I looked at him,
He took my hand, he held my hand,
He's a real gone guy and do I love him?
'Deed I do!

He is real gone, real gone,
Real gone, he is real gone,
He's a real gone guy and do I love him?
'Deed I do!

His technique simply took me out of this world,
His technique simply took me out of this world;
He filled my heart with joy and cheer,
Told me things that I like to hear!
He's a real gone guy and do I love him?
'Deed I do!

Oh he is real gone, real gone,
Real gone, he is real gone,
He's a real gone guy and do I love him?
'Deed I do!

He is gentle, he is great, he is all the world to me!
He is gentle, he is great, he is all the world to me!
He knows what to do
When I am feeling blue,
He held me and whispers,
"Baby, I love no-one but you!".
He's a real gone guy and do I love him?
'Deed I do!

Oh he is real gone, real gone,
Real gone, he is real gone,
He's a real gone guy and do I love him?
'Deed I do!

Sometimes he hurts me with his line of jive,
Sometimes he hurts me with his line of jive;
When he go away,
I'd wait until the day
That he came back,
Then I'd unpack
The love I sigh for, that real gone man of mine!

Oh he is real gone, real gone,
Real gone, he is real gone,
He's a real gone guy and do I love him?
'Deed I do!

Oh he is real gone, real gone,
Real gone, he is real gone,
He's a real gone guy and do I love him?
'Deed I do!
