Feeling like I'm stuck in a hole

body and soul

while you're out of control

Now I know why you had to go

well I think we both know

why it had to be so

I've been trying not to cry

when I'm in the public eye

Stuck here with the shame

and taking

my share of the blame

while making

sudden plans that don't include you



I get along, get along

without you very well

I get along very well



Now I know you'd much rather be

with rock royalty

instead of someone like me

The big boys are back and we need them, you said

Think it was something you'd read

and it stuck in your head

Even though I don't suppose

that's as far as it goes

You've go quite an appetite

for being wronged and in the right

Well from now on it won't affect me



I get along, get along

without you very well

I get along very well



The morning after the night before

I'd been alerted

to your lies

I phoned you up

Your calls were all diverted

Took a long time to track you down

even then you were defiant

It's not what you think it is, you said

and proceeded to deny it



So I lost my patience at last

and it happened so fast

you belong in the past

I've been trying not to cry

when I'm in the public eye

Stuck here with the shame

and taking

my share of the blame

while making

sudden plans that don't include you



I get along, get along

without you very well

I get along very well
