Lyrics Marianne Faithfull

Marianne Faithfull

I Get Along Without You Very Well

I get along without you very well

I get along without you very well,

of course, I do

Except when soft rains fall

and drip from leaves, then I recall

The thrill of being sheltered in your arms,

of course, I do

But I get along without you very well

I've forgotten you just like I should,

of course, I have

Except to hear your name,

or someone's laugh that is the same

But I've forgotten you just like I should

What a guy, what a fool am I

To think, my breaking heart could kid the moon

What's in store?

Should I phone once more?

No, it's best that I stick to my tune

I get along without you very well,

of course, I do

Except perhaps in spring but I should never

think of spring

For that would surely break my heart in two
