You’re Gonna Miss Me – Turntable Orchestra (1988)

by Adam Jarvis | Aug 9, 2025 | Classic House Music

Classic banger

The late 80’s had some stand outs. Turntable orchestra certainly made their mark with this classic house foundation track.

Right from the very beginning, that piano riff just grabs you. Taking on the consequences of cheating. This track is confident and unapologetic. You’re Gonna Miss me still stands as a dance floor classic.

Lyrics:

I been watching you for so very long
And I know exactly what is going on (What is going on)
You stay out late at night and tell me you’re with friends
But I know your friends are really just one man
But that’s ok (That’s ok), and that’s alright (That’s alright)
‘Cause I’m leaving and I won’t be back tonight
You trick me once (Just once), it won’t be twice (Not twice)
Now I’m telling you you have to pay the price

I’ve packed my bags, I took my brush
I’m leaving now, I’ve had enough, this can’t go on
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna know that you were wrong
You’re gonna wish that I were home
But baby, I’m moving on

I worked hard all day to try and make things right
I gavе it all to you without a fuss or fight
It seems your love for me is coming to an end
But don’t you worry girl ‘causе I’m giving in
Hey, that’s ok (That’s ok), and that’s alright (Alright)
‘Cause I’m leaving and I won’t put up a fight
Girl, I was blind (I was blind), but now I see (Now I see)
That this relationship was never meant to be

I’m getting up, I’m moving on
I’m living life ’cause I am strong, this can’t go on
You’re gonna miss me when I’m gone
You’re gonna know that you were wrong
You’re gonna wish that I were home
But baby, I’m moving on
Watch me now.
