When you went away I cried I was hurt down deep inside Such misery, just a broken heart can tell Now my lonesome tears I've shed And I've said what should be said I can get along without you very well Down before me on your knees Forgiveness, dear, you plead You're sorry for the lies you used to tell Now you want me back again To forgive would be a sin I can get along without you very well You don't seem to realize All my love for you has died I don't hate you but I'm sorry that I fell For your lies and tricks and schemes You're no longer in my dreams I can get along without you very well Now our love is at an end And your loneliness begins How much I've loved you there's no way to tell But it's over now and past I forgot your love at last I can get along without you very well
