Written by Billy Burnette and Larry Henley.. . Gone again somebody help me I'm. sinkin' in. Deeper this time than I've ever been. Ooh baby I'm gone again. Well I promised myself a million times. Nobody else gonna mess up my mind. Don't ask me how it happened 'cause I. don't know. You must have slipped up on me through. my back door. I don't know. I'm gone again somebody help me I'm. sinkin' in. Deeper this time than I've ever been. Ooh baby I'm gone again. Well I'm goin' goin' gone so long babe. I'm gone again. .
