I Have Learned To Do Without You

You gave me my first taste of love

You put in a groove and I could think of

Were your sweet lips

Upon my face

Your tender voice I thought I could never erase

Although you're gone

And I'm all alone

In an unhappy home

I have learned to do without you

Even though, even though it hurts me deep down inside

I have learned to do without you

I've wiped those tears from my eyes

I'm not perfect, boy, I know it's true

But all my intentions were good for you

My true love and affection, it just wouldn't do

So you found yourself, found somebody new

Now that you're gone

And I'm all alone

In an un, in an un, in an unhappy home

Oh, I have learned to do without you

Even though, even though it hurts me deep down inside

Somehow, I have learned, learned

Learned to do without you

I have wiped all the tears from my eyes

Now that you've had

Had your round of ruse

You realized just how good

How good I was to you

You've come back

To my front door

But it's too late, it's too late, it's too late

I just don't need you no more

So baby, go

Go and leave me alone

In this un, in this un, in this unhappy home

'Cause you know what?

I have learned

Learned to do without you

I have learned to do without you

I'm doing just fine

Oh, by myself

Go on back to your new love

I don't need you

I don't need you no more

'Cause I have learned, learned

Learned to live without you

Yes I have

Somehow I got over you, yeah

Did something I didn't think I could do

I have learned to do without you

I'm doing just fine
