Lyrics Nina Simone

Nina Simone

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 said I would

Of course, I have

Or maybe except when I hear your name

Someone's laugh that's just the same

I've forgotten you just like

I should

What a guy

What a fool am I

To think my aching hearth

Could keep the moon

What's in store

Should I phone once more

No, no, no, no, no

It's best that I stick to my tune

I said that I get along

Without you very well

Of course, I do

Except perhaps in spring

But then I should never

Ever think of spring

For that would

Surely break my heart in two
