Darling, I know you like my mind
But I take on the worry I find
I get by for a moment at your side
Throw out all the papers
Spare me the news of the day
This world's bringing me down
But let me say
I get by for you, my love

Honey, when all the songs we play
They don't keep our troubles away
I get by with the longing of your eyes
Sooner or later
Closer or further away
Rain will always come down
But let me say
I get by for you, my love

I don't want to change our ways
Just to keep the darkness at bay
I get by with the morning on the rise
Sing out to the blue sky
Till the end of the day
When it all crashes down
I can say
I got by for you, my love

Look at me now
I get by, I get by, I get by
Look at me now
I get by, I get by, I get by
Look at me now
I get by, I get by, I get by
Look at me now
I get by, I get by, I get by
Look at me now
I get by, I get by, I get by
Look at me now
I get by, I get by, I get by
