William Ben Hogan (August 13, 1912 – July 25, 1997) was an American professional golfer, generally considered one of the greatest players in the history of the game. Born within six months of two other acknowledged golf greats of the twentieth century, Sam Snead and Byron Nelson, Hogan is notable for his profound influence on the golf swing theory and his legendary ball-striking ability, for which he remains renowned among players and fans.
His nine career professional major championships tie him (with Gary Player) for fourth all-time, trailing only Jack Nicklaus (18), Tiger Woods (14) and Walter Hagen (11). Furthermore, he is one of only five golfers to have won all four major championships currently open to professionals (the Masters Tournament, the British Open, the U.S. Open, and the PGA Championship), the other four being Gene Sarazen, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods.
Born in Stephenville, Texas, he was the third and youngest child of Chester and Clara (Williams) Hogan. His father was a blacksmith and the family lived ten miles southwest in Dublin until 1921, when they moved 70 miles (112 km) northeast to Fort Worth. In 1922, when Hogan was nine, his father Chester committed suicide at the family home via a self-inflicted gunshot to the chest. By some accounts Chester committed suicide in front of him, which some (including Hogan biographer James Dodson) have cited as the cause of his introverted personality in later years.
I know it's late, baby I've been dialing your number all day
Got me missing you like crazy, you acting like you hate me
Yes, I know I was wrong, I just want you back
Just say you'll take me
It just can't be over, you took away your phone calls and visits
I thought that we were closer, you're giving me the cold shoulder
When I want your warm hugs and kisses
That's what I need the most
It's like Bonnie with no Clyde without you by my side
It's like a part of me died away since you been gone
If I spend some time without you thought I'd be okay
I can't replace you, I tried, it didn't work out that way
So tell me where will you go?
And tell me who's gonna love you like I do?
Since you been gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Since you been gone
I can't respect your feelings
So tell me when you thought about it?
Did you think of me at all?
You don't seem to be affected, I'm trying to correct it
You shoot me down, how could you watch me fall?
I make mistakes that don't mean that I don't love you
I'll learn to love you more, whatever, just let me know
I feel so empty 'cause you've taken your love out my life
I'll keep you happy, darling, don't let me go
It's like Bonnie with no Clyde without you by my side
It's like a part of me died away since you been gone
If I spend some time without you thought I'd be okay
I can't replace you, I tried, it didn't work out that way
So tell me where will you go?
And tell me who's gonna love you like I do?
Since you been gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Since you been gone
This time I'll say I love you every time we speak
Make you a priority, be your strength when you are weak
This time whenever you call me I'll be there
No matter what I'm doing, I will come no matter where
This time I'll give you all the loving that I got
Say the right things, I don't wanna lose what I got
And I don't wanna hurt no more but you got down
Baby, open up the door and let me in
It's like Bonnie with no Clyde without you by my side
It's like a part of me died away since you been gone
If I spend some time without you thought I'd be okay
I can't replace you, I tried, it didn't work out that way
So tell me where will you go?
And tell me who's gonna love you like I do?
Since you been gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Since you been gone
It's like Bonnie with no Clyde without you by my side
It's like a part of me died away since you been gone
If I spend some time without you thought I'd be okay
I can't replace you, I tried, it didn't work out that way
So tell me where will you go?
And tell me who's gonna love you like I do?
Since you been gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Since you been gone
